politics
I've been heavily involved in departmental politics in the period
1990-1996.
In Denmark the universities are governed by boards and commitees to
which also students are elected. Most importantly, the study-board
(Dansk studienævn) which is formally responsible for the teaching, and
the governing board (Dansk bestyrelse) which has the funds, and thus
most of the real power.
Naturally, the studens hold 50% of the members in the study board and
only an observer in the governing board :-(
My political career is briefly summarized below:
- Governing Board, 93-95.
- Study board, 92-95.
- Executive Committee (Dansk: forretningsudvalg)
on the Study Board, 94-95. This is were the action is!
- Primary Educational Committee, 93-94. This committee runs the
departments primary education (up to bachelor level).
- Computer Equipment Comittee, 90-93. This committee advices the
governing board in purchase of computer equipment.
- Systematic Evaluation of Education. I introduced systematic
evaluation of courses and did most of the practical work needed
to make such an activity work, in the years 92-94.
And of course numerous ad-hoc tasks over the years.
