Administrative Committee

The Administrative Committee is a body that operates under the Council of Representatives. The Administrative Committee consists of one representative of each of the student union’s council groups, and the council nominates one of the representatives as the chair. If a member of the Administrative Committee is prevented, a person authorised by a permanent member from their own council group can operate as the Administrative Committee’s full deputy member.

The Administrative Committee’s duties include processing the matters that emerge in the council and giving statements about them to the council. The committee’s specific tasks are to adequately prepare the policy questions of the council meetings and other arrangements related to the council’s activity, observe the student union’s administration and activity and especially questions related to the regulations and organisation of the student union and put forward motions of the observations for the council.

The Central Election Committee is a working group operating under the Council of Representatives. The committee consists of seven members of the Student Union, and a deputy member for each. The Council of Representatives appoints the members of the Central Election Committee in its meeting and elects a chair for the committee.

The Central Election Committee oversees the execution of the Student Union’s Council elections and makes decisions on the organising of the elections. The committee decides on giving the election announcement and on practical matters, such as date and time of the elections and the voting method, and it approves the documents used in the elections. In addition, the Central Election Committee prepares the guidelines for election advertising.

Before the Council elections, the Central Election Committee examines the electoral documents and approves the combination of the list of candidates. After the elections, the committee confirms the result of the elections.

The Editorial Board operates under the Council of Representatives. The board consists of six members, out of which five are appointed by the Council of Representatives. The Executive Board of the Student Union chooses the sixth member from its midst. The Editorial Board can also invite one to three expert members to join it. These members do not have the right to vote. In the beginning of its term of office, the Editorial Board selects a chairperson from its midst.

The Editorial Board has the authority to decide on certain matters concerning the student union magazine Visiiri. The special task for the Editorial Board is to follow closely the operations of the magazine and to discuss with its editor-in-chief its contents, place of print, publishing platform and purchases.
