The task of the Electoral College is to select academic staff representatives for the University Board and act as a collegial body in the recruitment and consultation process for a new Vice-Chancellor and deputy vice-chancellor. The election process has now been completed for members of the Electoral College regarding the term of office 2024-2027.
At the first constitutive meeting in April, Johan Östling, professor of History, was selected as the chair. Karin Broberg, professor of Occupational and Environmental Medicine was appointed vice-chair. Electoral College meetings take place once or twice per semester. However, prior to the election of the Vice-Chancellor and deputy vice-chancellor the frequency of meetings increases considerably.
In recent years, the Electoral College has also acted as a forum for discussions of a general overall academic nature. Among other things, the Electoral College has debated academic freedom, collegiality and campus development.
The Electoral College is the highest collegial body at Lund University and has broad representation. It consists of 48 members from the entire University: 24 from the academic staff, 12 from the non-academic staff and 12 students.
