StuRa Committees
Statutes Committee
The Statutes Committee deals with the statutes and regulations that form the legal foundation for the organisation and operation of the student representation. Its main tasks include revising existing statutes and drafting new regulations to ensure that all processes run smoothly. In doing so, the committee liaises with many stakeholders to ascertain their needs and discuss the best solutions with them. The Statutes Committee also takes on an advisory role for, for example, student council regulations or rules of procedure for the committees. The first projects to be finalised in the new legislature are the revision of the financial regulations and the media regulations.
Structure Committee
The Structure Committee deals with many issues relating to the organisation of student committees. The focus is on the organisation of the AStA and the associated staff structure. The AStA structure is continuously evaluated and revised. This is not just about purely technical matters, but also about the content of the departments. In other words, we help shape the important issues for the future.
The committee also provides support in all matters where there are problems in cooperation between the committees. Unclear responsibilities, reorganisation of old structures – that is precisely our task. We also make sure that as many students as possible know about the structures. As a committee, we once organised an event for this purpose. So a lot is possible with us.
Sustainability Committee
The Sustainability Committee deals with topics relating to environmental sustainability, prepares statements or proposals and brings debates to the university committees. Unsurprisingly, the Sustainability Committee deals with all issues relating to environmental sustainability at the university. In recent times, the committee has dealt a lot with the university’s endeavours to be climate-neutral by 2035 and is supporting this development.
Budget Committee
The Budget Committee deals with everything that has to do with the student body’s funds. The money for this comes on the one hand from the students (fees) and on the other hand from the state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern (residence premium) and is administered by the AStA. The Budget Committee advises the StuRa on how the money should be used, which is decided as part of the budget. It also deals with the annual accounts, the cash audit, the general administrative structures and the financially strategic situation of the student body. In this way, the Budget Committee endeavours to ensure that the student body uses its money sensibly, properly and efficiently.
Digital Committee
The Digital Committee deals with all digitalisation issues that affect the student body. On the one hand, it deals with our own administration, i.e. the technical infrastructure of the student body. At the same time, the committee can also deal with topics relating to studying and teaching, i.e. the digital aspects of our degree programmes. The aspect of data protection is also discussed in this committee.
Social Committee
The Social Affairs Committee primarily deals with applications for semester fee refunds for social reasons, but also serves as an exchange forum for all social and socio-political issues at the university, e.g. improving support services for chronically ill and disabled students.
Following the dissolution of the Social Fund Committee, the Social Committee is now also monitoring the further examination of whether the establishment of such a fund to support students in financial need can be implemented. Students are always welcome to bring other topics to the committee.
