What does the Senate do?
The Senate is the university's highest decision-making body. It advises on matters relating to research, teaching, and studying that are of fundamental importance to the university. Its other tasks are defined in § 42 of the Hessische Hochschulgesetz as well as the university's constitution (Grundordnung der Hochschule Geisenheim).
The Senate is made up of 17 members divided into four groups:
- Professors have nine seats
- Students have three seats
- Academic staff have three seats
- Administrative and technical staff have two seats
The Senate is elected for two years, though students elect their representatives annually.
The new Senate's term of office begins on April 1, 2025.
