The central, academic collegial body of the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar is the Senate. The Senate generally meets once a month and its meetings can be attended by all university members. It takes all decisions that are of fundamental importance to the university. Its tasks and composition are regulated in § 35 of the Thuringian Higher Education Act (ThürHG) and in § 8 of the Basic Regulations (Grundordnung).
The Senate's rules of procedure can be found here.
With the exception of personnel matters, the Senate’s meetings are open to all university members.
