University Politics Committee

What do we do?

The University Politics Committee of the StuRa at Leipzig University deals with current university political issues. Our work focuses particularly on monitoring, discussing and evaluating the university’s political activities, as well as state and federal higher education policies. The committee’s tasks include preparing proposals to position the student body for the StuRa plenum, cooperating with the University Politics Unit and supervising the work of the unit speakers through active discussion and consultations.

Who can participate and vote?

All students are welcomed to come along and join the discussion. It allows us to consider as many opinions and perspectives as possible. You do not need any prior knowledge. If you want to participate or have any questions, please feel free to email us. We welcome all forms of input and engagement. The voting members consist of seven students elected by the plenum, as well as the two speakers of the University Politics Unit. The elected members should represent a range of academic disciplines and include at least three FLINTA* persons (female, lesbian, intersex, non-binary, trans, agender). The aim is to ensure a broad representation of student interests. If you are interested or have any questions, please contact the University Politics Unit by mail.
