STAFF COUNCIL

There are two staff councils at our university: the staff council for employees in technology and administration and the staff council for employees in the arts and sciences.

The Artistic and Academic Staff Council at the Cologne University of Music and Dance represents a large group of faculty members: lecturers (LBA), instructors for special assignments (LfBA), and academic staff members as defined in §5 LPVG. Our members are always ready to listen and address problems of any kind. As an independent body not affiliated with any specific department, we handle all faculty concerns confidentially and with a commitment to discretion.

Members of the Artistic and Academic Staff Council:

• Thomas Aydintan | Chair, responsible for Departments 1 and 4
• Sebastian Schärr | Vice Chair
• Dörte Bald | Responsible for Department 5 – Wuppertal Campus
• Siegfried Koepf | Responsible for Department 2
• Andreas Schnermann | responsible for Department 6
• Jennifer Seubel | Responsible for Department 3

The non-academic staff council represents all employees in technology and administration at the HfMT Cologne at all locations. This includes all tariff employees, civil servants, working students and trainees. Its members are elected by personal vote. The Staff Council is an independent body and has a wide range of tasks, from co-determination in decision-making to consultation, opinions and advice. It works closely with the representative body for severely disabled employees and the Equal Opportunities Officer.

Members of the non-scientific staff council:

• Nazan Catalbas | Chairwoman
• Andreas Kotarra
• Stephan Wenz
• Renate Djohar | Assistance
