The government recently changed the period of office for the board of directors of higher education institutions from 3 years to 17 months, however, this is a temporary change.
In addition to the vice-chancellor and the eight members appointed by the government, the SLU Board comprises three members elected by the faculties and three members elected by the students. Saco and ST have staff representatives with the right to attend and be heard.
