Editorial:
The dean election has now started!
Dean Ivar Gladhaug explains who has the right to vote and encourages you to use your right to vote in the dean's election 2022 today! Read the full editorial.
Unfortunately, due to an error in our new personnel and payroll system (DFØ), many employees have fallen out of the workforce head count. This should now be updated. If an employee or student nevertheless finds that they are not registered with the right to vote (included in the head count), they can just as easily cast their vote and give a reason why they believe they should be included in the head count. No one has access to see what you vote for.
The election closes on 14 September at 12.
You can vote here now!
