A large two-storey apartment in a villa bordering Frederiksberg Have. That is the compensation rector of the University of Copenhagen, Henrik Wegener, will receive for his new second job as head \u2014 or so-called ephor<\/em> \u2014 of 4. Maj Kollegiet on Frederiksberg. Heat and electricity not included.<\/p>\n

The independent media outlet Fundats, which specializes in foundations, has covered the story of the rector\u2019s new job, which he received ahead of 22 other applicants, in two articles.<\/p>\n

As ephor of the dormitory, the rector will be responsible for financial matters, budgeting, and accounting. He will also manage day to day operations as well as maintain the public interests of the dormitory which among other things entails \u00bbraising funds to maintain the infrastructure,\u00ab Wegener tells Fundats<\/a>.<\/p>\n

According to Fundats, rector\u2019s new position as ephor was approved by the former chairman of the university board, Mads Krogsagaard Thomsen.<\/p>\n

As rector of the country\u2019s largest university, Henrik Wegener makes approximately 1.8 million kroner a year. The job as rector is a full-time position and according to a draft of a new trust deed for 4. Maj Kollegiet, the position as ephor is at minimum \u00bba half-time position.\u00ab<\/p>\n

To Fundats, Henrik Wegener explains that he expects to fulfil his duties as ephor \u2018primarily after hours on weekdays and on weekends\u2019 and that the position as ephor \u00bbis just as much a lifestyle as it is a job.\u00ab<\/p>\n

Department heads are often busier than the rector<\/h3>\n

\u00bbIn most cases, ephors are department heads or professors. And a department head at a modern university who is responsible for hundreds of employees and a budget of several hundred millions of kroner is subject to the same level of work pressure as a rector is,\u00ab Henrik Wegener says to Fundats.<\/p>\n

It is true that other ephors in the past have fulfilled their duties while simultaneously working full-time. Head of the Regensen dormitory Stuart Ward, also serves as head of the Saxo Institute at the University of Copenhagen.<\/p>\n

The current ephor at 4. Maj Kollegiet, John E. Andersen, who is a professor emeritus at the University of Copenhagen, has served as department head for years while simultaneously fulfilling his duties as ephor.<\/p>\n

\u00bbIt\u2019s not a half-time job,\u00ab says John E. Andersen to the University Post. \u00bbAnd it hasn\u2019t been in practice.\u00ab<\/p>\n

According to him, it is a misunderstanding and an error that the new trust deed draft states that \u00bbhalf-time employees at the dormitory, including the ephor and the caretaker, are allowed to participate in board meetings,\u00ab because it implies that the job as ephor is a half-time position.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the best job in the world.<\/p>\n

John E. Andersen, current ephor<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u00bbI\u2019ve had the job for 16 years and I have never spent half of my working hours on it,\u00ab says John E. Andersen adding that he initially applied for the position as ephor to strengthen his bond with the student community. As ephor you live in close proximity to the students and take part in their everyday life.<\/p>\n

\u00bbIt\u2019s the best job in the world,\u00ab says John E. Andersen.<\/p>\n

The newly appointed chairwoman of the board at 4. Maj Kollegiet, Helle Sjelle, who is also a conservative member of the Frederiksberg city council, agrees that the job as ephor is not a regular half-time position.<\/p>\n

\u00bbIt would be hard to clearly asses how much time is spent on this job. Being an ephor is more of a lifestyle than anything else,\u00ab says Helle Sjelle.<\/p>\n

Henrik Wegener also uses the term \u201clifestyle\u201d in describing his new second job:<\/p>\n

\u00bbThe definition of an ephor is someone who lives at the dormitory alongside the young people themselves,\u00ab says Henrik Wegener to the University Post. \u00bbThat\u2019s why I use the term lifestyle. One has to want to be at the centre of social and academic life at the dormitory.\u00ab<\/p>\n

\u00bbIt will create a positive synergy with my work as rector. I believe it will make me a better rector seeing eye to eye with the students, whom I at the moment see far too little of.\u00ab<\/p>\n

Henrik Wegener states that the job listing in no way mentioned how much time the ephor could expect to spend on his or her new duties. He was, however, encouraged to inquire with the current ephor which he did.<\/p>\n

\u00bbBased on what I have been told, I see no cause for alarm. Even though I am rector of the university I still have time off to myself. My duties as ephor will be handled during odd hours.\u00ab<\/p>\n

When he served as vice-rector at Denmark\u2019s Technical College, Henrik Wegener adds, he also took on a score of trusted positions in addition to his job. He had to give those up when accepting the position as rector at the University of Copenhagen, but now he has time to take on more duties. According to Henrik Wegener, ephors typically have full-time positions in academia which is also the case at other dormitories.<\/p>\n

Age limit delays handover<\/h3>\n

According to the 4. Maj Kollegiet-website, Henrik Wegener will start his new job on October 1. It is, however, also stated that the handover of responsibilities to the new ephor \u00bbis contingent on an agreement being reached between the board and Henrik C. Wegener during the negotiation of employment terms.\u00ab<\/p>\n

This revision of the original statement in the dormitory\u2019s website was made subsequent to Fundats-journalist Sune Holm Pedersen publishing his story about the new ephor.<\/p>\n

It will make me a better rector seeing eye to eye with the students, whom I at the moment see far too little of.<\/p>\n

Henrik Wegener<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

One potential problem is the fact that Henrik Wegener does not live up to the demands of an ephor as stated in the current dormitory rules. An ephor cannot serve in the position \u00bbpast the age of 60.\u00ab Henrik Wegener is 61.<\/p>\n

However, current ephor, John E. Andersen, is even older, so if the dormitory board eventually decides to break its own rules in hiring Henrik Wegener, it will not be the first time. The trust deed from 1997 also contains other outdated rules, for instance that part of the board is elected by the university senate at University of Copenhagen, which no longer exists.<\/p>\n

According to the media outlet Fundats<\/a>, S\u00f8ren Bergenser, a solicitor, PhD, and expert in managerial responsibility in foundations, believes that the hiring of Henrik Wegener is \u00bbis completely opposed to the foundation ordinances and thus in violation of foundation legislation.\u00ab<\/p>\n

Henrik Wegener explains that he does not intend to begin in his new position as ephor as long as the current rules apply:<\/p>\n

\u00bbI cannot begin my tenure as ephor if the trust deed explicitly states that I am too old for the job. The trust deed has to be updated, and it would of course have been better if that had happened prior to me being offered the position. I was informed that the trust deed was in the process of being updated,\u00ab he says.<\/p>\n

Helle Sjelle promises an updated set of rules<\/h3>\n

According to Henrik Wegener, the most contentious point for the dormitory board to decide on is the future admittance of students as there are fewer and fewer direct descendants of freedom fighters in the university student age group. This is in part why the update to the trust deed has been a prolonged affair.<\/p>\n

Chairwoman of 4. Maj Kollegiet, Helle Sjelle, says to the University Post that an updated set of rules is in the making.<\/p>\n

\u00bbIt\u2019s a long process which should have ended at our last board meeting which it didn\u2019t, but long ago the board decided to abolish the age limit.\u00ab According to her, the revisions have already been sent to the municipality of Frederiksberg for approval. \u00bbHenrik Wegener\u2019s new job doesn\u2019t start until October 1. if all goes well,\u00ab says Helle Sjelle.<\/p>\n

The ephor apartment by Frederiksberg Have is, according to its current resident John E. Andersen, \u00bba nice, big apartment, but it does need some repair.\u00ab<\/p>\n

\u00bbIt\u2019s a lovely building. I loved living there,\u00ab he says.<\/p>\n

However, John E. Andersen explains that the free housing is not tax exempt.<\/p>\n

That is the compensation rector of the University of Copenhagen, Henrik Wegener, will receive for his new second job as head \u2014 or so-called <em>ephor<\/em> \u2014 of 4. Maj Kollegiet on Frederiksberg. Heat and electricity not included.<\/p>\n<p>The independent media outlet Fundats, which specializes in foundations, has covered the story of the rector\u2019s new job, which he received ahead of 22 other applicants, in two articles.<\/p>\n<p>As ephor of the dormitory, the rector will be responsible for financial matters, budgeting, and accounting. He will also manage day to day operations as well as maintain the public interests of the dormitory which among other things entails \u00bbraising funds to maintain the infrastructure,\u00ab <a href=\"https:\/\/fundats.dk\/fondsledelse\/ku-rektor-stillingen-er-et-akademisk-ombud\/\">Wegener tells Fundats<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>According to Fundats, rector\u2019s new position as ephor was approved by the former chairman of the university board, Mads Krogsagaard Thomsen.<\/p>\n<p>As rector of the country\u2019s largest university, Henrik Wegener makes approximately 1.8 million kroner a year. The job as rector is a full-time position and according to a draft of a new trust deed for 4. Maj Kollegiet, the position as ephor is at minimum \u00bba half-time position.\u00ab<\/p>\n<p>To Fundats, Henrik Wegener explains that he expects to fulfil his duties as ephor \u2018primarily after hours on weekdays and on weekends\u2019 and that the position as ephor \u00bbis just as much a lifestyle as it is a job.\u00ab<\/p>\n<h3>Department heads are often busier than the rector<\/h3>\n<p>\u00bbIn most cases, ephors are department heads or professors. And a department head at a modern university who is responsible for hundreds of employees and a budget of several hundred millions of kroner is subject to the same level of work pressure as a rector is,\u00ab Henrik Wegener says to Fundats.<\/p>\n<p>It is true that other ephors in the past have fulfilled their duties while simultaneously working full-time. Head of the Regensen dormitory Stuart Ward, also serves as head of the Saxo Institute at the University of Copenhagen.<\/p>\n<p>The current ephor at 4. Maj Kollegiet, John E. Andersen, who is a professor emeritus at the University of Copenhagen, has served as department head for years while simultaneously fulfilling his duties as ephor.<\/p>\n<p>\u00bbIt\u2019s not a half-time job,\u00ab says John E. Andersen to the University Post. \u00bbAnd it hasn\u2019t been in practice.\u00ab<\/p>\n<p>According to him, it is a misunderstanding and an error that the new trust deed draft states that \u00bbhalf-time employees at the dormitory, including the ephor and the caretaker, are allowed to participate in board meetings,\u00ab because it implies that the job as ephor is a half-time position.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>It\u2019s the best job in the world.<\/p>\n<p class=\"quotee\">John E. Andersen, current ephor<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u00bbI\u2019ve had the job for 16 years and I have never spent half of my working hours on it,\u00ab says John E. Andersen adding that he initially applied for the position as ephor to strengthen his bond with the student community. As ephor you live in close proximity to the students and take part in their everyday life.<\/p>\n<p>\u00bbIt\u2019s the best job in the world,\u00ab says John E. Andersen.<\/p>\n<p>The newly appointed chairwoman of the board at 4. Maj Kollegiet, Helle Sjelle, who is also a conservative member of the Frederiksberg city council, agrees that the job as ephor is not a regular half-time position.<\/p>\n<p>\u00bbIt would be hard to clearly asses how much time is spent on this job. Being an ephor is more of a lifestyle than anything else,\u00ab says Helle Sjelle.<\/p>\n<p>Henrik Wegener also uses the term \u201clifestyle\u201d in describing his new second job:<\/p>\n<p>\u00bbThe definition of an ephor is someone who lives at the dormitory alongside the young people themselves,\u00ab says Henrik Wegener to the University Post. \u00bbThat\u2019s why I use the term lifestyle. One has to want to be at the centre of social and academic life at the dormitory.\u00ab<\/p>\n<p>\u00bbIt will create a positive synergy with my work as rector. I believe it will make me a better rector seeing eye to eye with the students, whom I at the moment see far too little of.\u00ab<\/p>\n<p>Henrik Wegener states that the job listing in no way mentioned how much time the ephor could expect to spend on his or her new duties. He was, however, encouraged to inquire with the current ephor which he did.<\/p>\n<p>\u00bbBased on what I have been told, I see no cause for alarm. Even though I am rector of the university I still have time off to myself. My duties as ephor will be handled during odd hours.\u00ab<\/p>\n<p>When he served as vice-rector at Denmark\u2019s Technical College, Henrik Wegener adds, he also took on a score of trusted positions in addition to his job. He had to give those up when accepting the position as rector at the University of Copenhagen, but now he has time to take on more duties. According to Henrik Wegener, ephors typically have full-time positions in academia which is also the case at other dormitories.<\/p>\n<h3>Age limit delays handover<\/h3>\n<p>According to the 4. Maj Kollegiet-website, Henrik Wegener will start his new job on October 1. It is, however, also stated that the handover of responsibilities to the new ephor \u00bbis contingent on an agreement being reached between the board and Henrik C. Wegener during the negotiation of employment terms.\u00ab<\/p>\n<p>This revision of the original statement in the dormitory\u2019s website was made subsequent to Fundats-journalist Sune Holm Pedersen publishing his story about the new ephor.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>It will make me a better rector seeing eye to eye with the students, whom I at the moment see far too little of.<\/p>\n<p class=\"quotee\">Henrik Wegener<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>One potential problem is the fact that Henrik Wegener does not live up to the demands of an ephor as stated in the current dormitory rules. An ephor cannot serve in the position \u00bbpast the age of 60.\u00ab Henrik Wegener is 61.<\/p>\n<p>However, current ephor, John E. Andersen, is even older, so if the dormitory board eventually decides to break its own rules in hiring Henrik Wegener, it will not be the first time. The trust deed from 1997 also contains other outdated rules, for instance that part of the board is elected by the university senate at University of Copenhagen, which no longer exists.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/fundats.dk\/fondsledelse\/bestyrelsesarbejde\/ku-rektor-ansaettes-som-fondsdirektoer-i-strid-med-vedtaegter\/\">According to the media outlet Fundats<\/a>, S\u00f8ren Bergenser, a solicitor, PhD, and expert in managerial responsibility in foundations, believes that the hiring of Henrik Wegener is \u00bbis completely opposed to the foundation ordinances and thus in violation of foundation legislation.\u00ab<\/p>\n<p>Henrik Wegener explains that he does not intend to begin in his new position as ephor as long as the current rules apply:<\/p>\n<p>\u00bbI cannot begin my tenure as ephor if the trust deed explicitly states that I am too old for the job. The trust deed has to be updated, and it would of course have been better if that had happened prior to me being offered the position. I was informed that the trust deed was in the process of being updated,\u00ab he says.<\/p>\n<h3>Helle Sjelle promises an updated set of rules<\/h3>\n<p>According to Henrik Wegener, the most contentious point for the dormitory board to decide on is the future admittance of students as there are fewer and fewer direct descendants of freedom fighters in the university student age group. This is in part why the update to the trust deed has been a prolonged affair.<\/p>\n<p>Chairwoman of 4. Maj Kollegiet, Helle Sjelle, says to the University Post that an updated set of rules is in the making.<\/p>\n<p>\u00bbIt\u2019s a long process which should have ended at our last board meeting which it didn\u2019t, but long ago the board decided to abolish the age limit.\u00ab According to her, the revisions have already been sent to the municipality of Frederiksberg for approval. \u00bbHenrik Wegener\u2019s new job doesn\u2019t start until October 1. if all goes well,\u00ab says Helle Sjelle.<\/p>\n<p>The ephor apartment by Frederiksberg Have is, according to its current resident John E. Andersen, \u00bba nice, big apartment, but it does need some repair.\u00ab<\/p>\n<p>\u00bbIt\u2019s a lovely building. I loved living there,\u00ab he says.<\/p>\n<p>However, John E. Andersen explains that the free housing is not tax exempt.<\/p>\n<p><em>Translation: Theis Duelund<\/em><\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"ArticleEnd"},{"acf_fc_layout":"Newsletter","lang_select":"Dansk","identifier":"Nyhedsbrev","headline":"Modtag et ugentligt nyhedsoverblik i din inbox","button_text":"Tilmeld nu","class":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"OtherStories","headline":"","hand_picked_posts":false,"references":false,"category":false,"theme":false,"number_of_posts":"4","style":"default"}],"expression":{"term_id":15,"name":"News Article","slug":"news_article","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":15,"taxonomy":"expression","description":"","parent":0,"count":11493,"filter":"raw"},"enable_comments":true,"align_content":"alignleft","feature_color":""},"taxonomyData":{"category":[{"term_id":2972,"name":"Cribs","slug":"cribs-en","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":2972,"taxonomy":"category","description":"","parent":0,"count":1,"filter":"raw"}],"post_tag":[{"term_id":2973,"name":"4.
