The Senate is elected by the members of the university. Its members comprise representatives of all interest groups at the university (university teachers, academics as well as other employees from technology and administration, and students). As a democratically legitimized body of the university, the Senate ratifies the University Council, elects the University Board along with the University Council, and adopts important statutes and regulations, including the basic regulations of the FernUniversität.
