Running for position as member of the board of UiS

I have nominated myself as a candidate for the position of member of the board of the University of Stavanger, representing scholars (academic staff) temporarily employed. This group is represented by 1 permanent member with two supplementary members in prioritised order. As the deadline for nominations passed on March 20th I was the only candidate, and the deadline was extended. As the extended deadline was reached on March 23rd a second candidate, dr. Zafer Øzgen, had been nominated, and our names were made public in an announcement stating that the electoral board had approved us as candidates. An election program from each of us is due by March 28, the election will take place electronically April 12-18.

If elected I will take part in board meetings around 5 times per semester in the academic year 2012-2013 (August 2012 - July 2013). Given that there are only two candidates it appears that I will at any rate become a supplementary member of the board of UiS, if nothing else.
