The 13th member is the Department Director who, in addition to chairing the department council, also represents the Department externally.

The committee serves to communicate department-related information and formulates positions or proposals - e.g. addressed to the University Senate, the StudienAG, the Study Commission or the Presidential Board - from the perspective of the Department Administration.

The department council can make final decisions on many department-related matters.

The Student council for Business, Economics and Law has two seats on the department council. This means that although there is no veto power, the interests of the students can always be represented in controversial discussions.
