External UiS board members proposed

The board of University of Stavanger has external members as well as internal members, and the board will soon propose prospective external members for the Ministry of Education - which makes these appointments. I have suggested to university director John Møst that Dag Hessen and Arne Johan Vetlesen be considered.

Term of office for UiS board extended by half year

The term of office for the board of the University of Stavanger has by an Ministry of Education  and Research decision been extended from June 30th 2015 to December 31st 2015. This is due to ongoing restructuring of higher education institutions in Norway (fusions and such).

I am currently 2nd deputy board member for temporarily employed education and research staff. It is not yet clear whether elections for representatives for temporarily employed education and research staff, and students, will be held as planned in Spring 2015 or whether these will be postponed until Autumn 2015.
