Since 2020 the Thuringia employees act (Thüringer Personalvertretungsgesetz) asks for a council that represents student employees. It consists of three representatives of student employees / assistants / "HiWis" at the Bauhaus University. The election period lasts a year. The current period startet on October 1st, 2021.

The most important task of the council is to represent the interests of student employees. In order to do that, one member of the council attends the meetings of the staff council (Personalrat) and has a right to vote on topics that concern student employees interests. We also work closely with the Personnel Department (Dezernat Personal), which is responsible, for example, for the contracts of the student employees.

It is our aim to answer questions and solve problems of the student employees. For that, we have created a page with information and FAQs together with the Personnel Department, which can be found here. You can also contact us at the address on the right (see contact form).

The tasks of the Assistant Council are legally defined in § 88 para. 5 ThürPersVG and can be viewed here.

• We used October and November 2021 to create a short introduction video concerning the council and us
• In March and in May 2021, our precursors met with the two other assistant's councils in Thuringia.
• Our precursors also created the technical infrastructure (e.g. this website and the e-mail adress) in their election period
