FH Aachen | Arnd Gottschalk
Dear colleagues,
Thank you for finding us! On these pages we would like to introduce ourselves and give you the opportunity to find out about our tasks. Our permanent committee consists of 11 people. We are complemented by the "substitute members", who are of course also your contact persons. We always endeavour to recruit members from all (specialist) areas of the university so that we can gain an insight and quick re-registration from as many areas as possible.
The main task of the Staff Council is to ensure that employees' rights are observed by the department (and thus also by their superiors) and to enforce them if necessary. You will find more detailed information in the next section.
For us, the most important thing is: If you have a concern, do not hesitate to contact us. We are here for you. Confidentially and discreetly.
Your "PRwiss"

The ABC of the TV-L
