The Council and its parties
The VSUZH council is elected every two years and meets regularly during the semester. It is the association's legislature. In the council meetings, the student representatives for various committees are elected, regulations are discussed, amounts of money for student events are handed out and, above all, debates are held on educational policy and internal university issues. For example, in recent years there has been a debate about Open Access, positions on third-party funding at the university and strategies against increasing tuition fees have been discussed as well. The council normally has 70 seats. However, at least three delegates per faculty must be represented; thus the number of seats can increase depending on the situation. Further information can be found under the heading Elections.
