State University Act

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A Landeshochschulgesetz ( LHG ) is a law in Germany with which the Länder in the Federal Republic of Germany exercise their legislative sovereignty in the higher education sector. This is assigned to the states by the Basic Law within the framework of their cultural sovereignty ; the federal government's previous framework competence has lapsed since the federalism reform of 2006. Accordingly, the Federal Higher Education Framework Act should expire in 2008, but has not yet been formally repealed.

The state university laws generally contain regulations on the personnel structure and internal organization of the university, on the co-determination of the individual member groups within the framework of the group university and on the organization of research , teaching and studies including university admissions and degrees.

All federal states now have a higher education law for all of their universities; in some countries it also includes professional academies and student unions . In the past, there were separate laws in several countries according to type of university (universities, technical colleges, art colleges, ...).

Coordination between the federal states takes place in the Standing Conference .
