Procedures and rules set by the government:

• Universitetsloven (link til retsinformation)

• Bekendtgørelse om stillingsstruktur for videnskabeligt personale ved universiteter (revideret 1. Jan, 2020)

• "Ansættelsesbekendtgørelsen for højere læreranstalter"

• "Offentlighedsloven"

• "Forvaltningsloven"

Overall UCPH rules (made by the board of UCPH, and approved by government):

• Vedtægt for Københavns Universitet (ENG: Statutes of the University of Copenhagen). 

UCPH Procedures (made/approved by the board): 

• Foretningsorden for bestyrelsen

• "KU Ansættelsespolitik for ledere" (internal UCPH rules describing how prorector, deans and head of departments are hired. In particular note the extreme limited researcher involment in these procedures! These are internal UCPH rules that can be changed!)

• KU Strategi 2023. (It's like "Simon says...": if you want to change something you better start your sentence with "The strategy says...".; Luckily it starts "Et universitet på højeste internationale niveau kræver stærke videnskabelige miljøer. Hvis KU’s vision om at være blandt verdens bedste universiteter skal indfries, er fokus på rekruttering, fastholdelse og udvikling af talentfulde videnskabelige medarbejdere afgørende." which already covers a lot of ground.)

Other UCPH documents:

• God ledelse ved KU.  (Den starter: Københavns Universitet har en vision om at være blandt verdens bedste universiteter [...] Vi har derfor brug for fagligt stærke, modige og empatiske ledere. Fagligt stærke, fordi vi som ledere står i spidsen for medarbejdere og for et arbejdsfællesskab, der næres ved visioner, høj faglighed og kvalitet i opgaveløsningen [..].) 

• KU (and Science, SUND, Søndre Campus) rules for recruiting e.g, faculty-VIP.  Note that these are WAY more detailed than what is specified in "ansættelsesbekendtgørelsen", and are internal KU rules. (Note, you need KU-id for this on.)

Rules from other Danish universities:

• Vedtægt AU.  (Note their rules for hiring leaders are quite different and more inclusive.)

Rules from leading international universities: 

• Stanford Faculty Handbook (for an example of how a leading US university is governed)

• Form used in connection with tenure at Stanford (Note the thoroughness of the process. In particular note the faculty vote on granting tenure; also Part IV where approximately 10 letters form leading scholars "referees" are solicited, which asks to compare the candidate to selected other leading scholars "peer comparison scholars".)
