Report on the Work of the Administrative Board

The Board of Directors advises and supervises the Managing Directors. It decides on fundamental matters - unless the decision is delegated to the Managing Directors. Among other things, it approves the business plan and decides on the use of the annual result. The expansion or restriction of the Studierendenwerk's tasks, the taking out of loans, the acquisition or sale of real estate, the setting of student fees or the founding of companies also fall within its area of responsibility.

It was not easy for our Administrative Board to deal with the complex situation and to support decisions for an uncertain future. As 2021 was once again a year far removed from any ability to plan, our focus was on securing the economic future of the Studierendenwerk, trying to make the company future-proof and improving the very poor housing situation for students in Landau.

In accordance with the Higher Education Act (HochSchG) of 23 September 2020, the Administrative Board was composed of 11 voting members in the 2021 financial year, namely:

• three professors or academic staff of the universities (the three votes are divided among four professors at the Studierendenwerk due to the four locations, with voting rights alternating between the University of Worms and the Department of Translation, Linguistics and Cultural Studies of the University of Mainz in Germersheim).
• five students from the affiliated universities in Landau, Ludwigshafen, Worms and Germersheim
• one public figure
• a chancellor appointed by the presidium of the universities in the area of responsibility
• the chairperson of the staff council of the Studierendenwerk

The term of office of the professorial members, the chancellor and the public figure is three years, that of the students one year.
