The Faculty Board seeks support in the decision-making by the committees and participational bodies below.
Faculty Joint Assembly
The Faculty Joint Assembly (FJA) forms co-determination within the faculty. In the FJA, members of the Subcommittee on Literature (SCL) and members of the Faculty Student Council on Literature (FSRL) meet with the Faculty Board. The SCL is the co-determination body for the staff of the Faculty of Arts and, as such, part of the University Works Council. The FSRL represents students' interests; the voice of staff and students is therefore heard in the FSRL.

Programme Committees
Every study programme has a Study Programme Committee. Half of the members of a Study Programme Committee are elected by and from among the study programme students; the other half of the committee consists of members of the academic staff of the study programme in question. The committee is concerned with ensuring and improving the quality of the study.
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion committee
The Diversity, Equity, and Inclusivity committee aims to further improve the Faculty of Arts in being an inclusive place for staff, students, and visitors, where everyone feels welcome and valued, and can develop a sense of belonging. To that aim, we advise the faculty board regarding its policies on teaching and research as well as recruitment, hiring and retainment, while introspecting policies and practices also in all other aspects related to diversity, equity, and inclusivity. In doing so, we welcome and actively seek input on these topics and suggestions for improvement also based on actual experiences. Our focus areas are, among others, gender diversity and equity, social and educational inclusivity, (inter)cultural awareness and competencies, as well as informed language use and communication.
