I<\/span>t all started 35 years ago, when Per R\u00f8dgaard Hansen was flipping through job ads in the Politiken<\/em> newspaper. The University of Copenhagen (UCPH) was looking for a betjent<\/em> or warden. That didn\u2019t sound too bad, the 30-year-old carpenter thought. He had grown weary of tough construction industry conditions:<\/p>\n

\u00bbWe had to clock in at seven a.m. sharp. If you were four minutes late, your pay was docked. The canteen opened precisely at 11:30, and we had to pay for our own half-hour lunch break. If it was two minutes past noon, the foreman would come and ask if we ever planned on getting back to work.\u00ab<\/p>\n

The young carpenter had no idea, at the time, that this job advertisement would end up giving shape to the rest of his working life. What he did know was that he wanted a job with more freedom, and more variation in his tasks. He got that at the University of Copenhagen, where he was hired as warden in the central administration on N\u00f8rregade street on 1 February 1990.<\/p>\n

After six months, he was transferred to the Student Administration section, which at that time occupied several floors of the building at the corner of Fiolstr\u00e6de<\/em> and Krystalgade<\/em> \u2014 a building that now has a large Starbucks caf\u00e9 on the ground floor. Back then, the building was home to both the Student Guidance, SU [student grants], and the International Office. These functions are now spread across different departments.<\/p>\n

A buzzing beehive<\/h3>\n

In the early years, the Student Administration was open for in-person service every day from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Anyone could just walk in off the street and speak to someone, says Per R\u00f8dgaard Hansen. And he\u00a0 laughs as he recalls the madness of 15 March \u2014 the deadline for quota 2 student admission applications, when the Coordinated Admission Office (which had a UCPH office in the building) was almost overrun by applicants:<\/p>\n

\u00bbWhen we opened the doors at 10, there was a long queue of people outside on Fiolstr\u00e6de<\/em> rushing to submit their applications before the noon deadline. Of course, there were also those who were still filling out their applications at the last minute,\u00ab he chuckles.<\/p>\n

One of the chief warden\u2019s main tasks was handling the vast amounts of incoming and outgoing mail:<\/p>\n

\u00bbWe got a mail sack every day that had to be distributed internally. I would walk around with a trolley full of baskets, personally delivering the mail to each and every office. On the day of the quota 2 deadline, a truck would turn up stacked with 18 sacks of mail.\u00ab
\n
\nPer R\u00f8dgaard Hansen was the only warden in the Student Administration for the first five years until he finally got a colleague:<\/p>\n

\u00bbIt was never lonely. I had my morning coffee with the women at the switchboard. And throughout the day, I was out and about, chatting with everyone while delivering the mail. Plenty of people would also pop their heads in to ask for a hand with various things. The tasks were varied, and there was a lot of social interaction across departments in those years,\u00ab he says, adding:<\/p>\n

\u00bbIn that respect, I think things have gone downhill \u2014 times have changed completely. It was a different era.\u00ab<\/p>\n

According to the chief warden, the combination of digitalisation, centralisation, and top-down management has not only changed work processes, but also the way people interact.<\/p>\n

\u00bbIn the early years, people didn\u2019t have personal computers yet \u2014 just screen terminals. We had a typing pool where a group of women worked,\u00ab he says, as he shares a story that seems almost unbelievable in light of today\u2019s heightened data security:<\/p>\n

\u00bbWhen student grants were to be paid out, a magnetic tape was produced, which I would collect from the IT department and take to the SU agency every two weeks, containing all the information on SU recipients at UCPH.\u00ab<\/p>\n

\u00bbThere were about 20 people in the IT department back then. Now, there are ten times as many.\u00ab<\/p>\n

Submit a request<\/h3>\n

Per R\u00f8dgaard Hansen was made chief warden in 2009, heading up the wardens’ office in the Central Administration on N\u00f8rregade<\/em>, which now had three wardens.<\/p>\n

Over the next 14 years, the wardens took on a variety of tasks, including room booking, key management, and coordinating maintenance work.<\/p>\n

It was not uncommon for a window to be broken on a Monday morning, thanks to drunken youths passing by on their way from the Str\u00f8get pedestrian street to the N\u00f8rreport station over the weekend, the chief warden explains:<\/p>\n

\u00bbI would call a glazier, and within an hour, the window was fixed. If someone had a faulty power socket, I called an electrician. And when a toilet kept running, I got in a plumber,\u00ab says Per, before switching from past to present tense:<\/p>\n

\u00bbThat\u2019s not how it works anymore. Every single task has to be registered digitally. Everything has become so much more bureaucratic. People used to just drop by, call, or send an email if they needed help. There was personal contact. Now, we have to log in, find the case, open it, process it, and then close it. Everything has to be documented. I think it\u2019s a waste of time.\u00ab<\/p>\n

\u00bbBut we had some good years in the warden\u2019s office because we handled so many different requests. It was enjoyable, and we talked to a lot of people throughout the day. No one knows where we are at nowadays. People don\u2019t just drop by. If someone needs to reach me they have to go through reception, which then contacts me. There are so many extra steps now.\u00ab<\/p>\n

Loss of tasks and colleagues<\/h3>\n

It was decided in 2023 to merge all wardens and maintenance staff in the city centre into a joint operations unit at the CSS campus: Campus Service City. The warden\u2019s office on N\u00f8rregade was to be closed, with many of its functions taken over by a newly established reception.<\/p>\n

\u00bbEverything had to be centralised. The plan was for us to report to CSS every morning and then bike in to N\u00f8rregade, where most of our tasks are. We were against the move. Fortunately we were allowed to stay in the end,\u00ab says Per R\u00f8dgaard Hansen.<\/p>\n

The nice room that was the home of the warden\u2019s office was now repurposed for other uses however. The chief warden, his last remaining colleague, and their equipment all ended up in a low-ceilinged, windowless room in a corner of the basement of the Museum Building complex.
\n
\nHardly a soul passes here. Apart from the cleaning staff, that is, with whom they share a coffee machine, and wardens now and again from other service areas dropping off mail.<\/p>\n

\u00bbI wish they had shown a bit more human consideration here,\u00ab says Per R\u00f8dgaard Hansen.<\/p>\n

\u00bbIn the end, we were only two wardens left, as when our third colleague retired we weren\u2019t given a replacement. At our level, down at the very bottom, positions aren\u2019t refilled when someone leaves. The rest of us just have to work even harder,\u00ab he says.<\/p>\n

Per R\u00f8dgaard Hansen\u2019s position won’t be refilled either.<\/p>\n

The amount of physical mail has decreased due to digitalisation, and the wardens\u2019 tasks have changed rapidly.<\/p>\n

Per R\u00f8dgaard Hansen describes how in recent years his workday has started at 7 a.m., opening gates, raising the flag if it was a flag day, checking the university\u2019s meeting rooms, and coordinating the week\u2019s events in the grand Ceremonial Hall with the movers who set up and take down tables, chairs, and stages under his direction.<\/p>\n

The workday ended at 2 p.m., leaving time for a game of padel or classic tennis and to spend time with his two grown daughters when they visited his apartment in the N\u00f8rrebro district \u2014 where he moved from the Albertslund suburb after his divorce.<\/p>\n

When the opportunity arose to take a voluntary redundancy as part of the large-scale UCPH administration reform, he had no doubts that he should go for it:<\/p>\n

\u00bbI\u2019m almost 66 years old, so the timing is perfect for me. Now, I\u2019m going to do a lot of sports. I miss the western part of Copenhagen, so maybe I\u2019ll move back to Albertslund and get myself a little garden where I can do barbecues in the summer. Or maybe a small allotment house I can do some work on,\u00ab he says.<\/p>\n

\u00bbBut I also dream of doing more travelling,\u00ab he adds, listing the trips he has already taken to South Africa, India, China, Vietnam, and Indonesia. He loves skiing. Last year, he rented a car and drove around the western United States for two weeks.<\/p>\n

The party is over<\/h3>\n

Per R\u00f8dgaard Hansen will turn 66 soon. He has spent 35 of those years at the University of Copenhagen. When he talks about his working life, there is a clear \u2018before\u2019 and \u2018after.\u2019<\/p>\n

Before, he had considerable freedom to carry out his tasks as he saw fit. He had responsibility and was in contact with colleagues across many different departments:<\/p>\n

\u00bbIt was much nicer back in the day. We had a huge Christmas party in the Ceremonial Hall for everyone in the Central Administration, and afterwards, we drank beer and listened to music in Munkek\u00e6lderen. In the summer, a big tent was set up in Lindeg\u00e5rden for a grand summer party. In recent years, departments have held their own separate celebrations, so we only meet each other within the operations section. I miss the big events that brought together all the different staff groups,\u00ab he says, adding:<\/p>\n

\u00bbEverything has become centralised and top-down managed. When I started, there was a rector and a director running the place. Then the rector got one prorector, and today he has two. And the director now has eight deputy directors assisting him. It\u2019s the same at the faculties \u2014 they used to be led by a single dean. Now, there are faculty directors, associate deans, and so on.\u00ab<\/p>\n

\u00bbWhen I started here, 80 percent of the administration staff were secretarial level employees. Today, most of them have been replaced by officers, senior consultants, and chief consultants. That\u2019s why the salary budget has exploded, and I think that\u2019s the reason we had to go through this round of cuts.\u00ab<\/p>\n

In the first phase of the administration reform, it wasn\u2019t necessary to lay off administrative staff because an unexpectedly large number of employees accepted voluntary redundancy.<\/p>\n

Per R\u00f8dgaard Hansen raised the flag at the main building on Frue Plads for the last time on 28 February. He got nine months\u2019 salary and a farewell reception, which he shared with two colleagues.

class=\"dropcap\">I<\/span>t all started 35 years ago, when Per R\u00f8dgaard Hansen was flipping through job ads in the <em>Politiken<\/em> newspaper. The University of Copenhagen (UCPH) was looking for a <em>betjent<\/em> or warden. That didn\u2019t sound too bad, the 30-year-old carpenter thought. He had grown weary of tough construction industry conditions:<\/p>\n<p>\u00bbWe had to clock in at seven a.m. sharp. If you were four minutes late, your pay was docked. The canteen opened precisely at 11:30, and we had to pay for our own half-hour lunch break. If it was two minutes past noon, the foreman would come and ask if we ever planned on getting back to work.\u00ab<\/p>\n<p>The young carpenter had no idea, at the time, that this job advertisement would end up giving shape to the rest of his working life. What he did know was that he wanted a job with more freedom, and more variation in his tasks. He got that at the University of Copenhagen, where he was hired as warden in the central administration on N\u00f8rregade street on 1 February 1990.<\/p>\n<p>After six months, he was transferred to the Student Administration section, which at that time occupied several floors of the building at the corner of <em>Fiolstr\u00e6de<\/em> and <em>Krystalgade<\/em> \u2014 a building that now has a large Starbucks caf\u00e9 on the ground floor. Back then, the building was home to both the Student Guidance, SU [student grants], and the International Office. These functions are now spread across different departments.<\/p>\n<h3>A buzzing beehive<\/h3>\n<p>In the early years, the Student Administration was open for in-person service every day from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Anyone could just walk in off the street and speak to someone, says Per R\u00f8dgaard Hansen. And he\u00a0 laughs as he recalls the madness of 15 March \u2014 the deadline for quota 2 student admission applications, when the Coordinated Admission Office (which had a UCPH office in the building) was almost overrun by applicants:<\/p>\n<p>\u00bbWhen we opened the doors at 10, there was a long queue of people outside on <em>Fiolstr\u00e6de<\/em> rushing to submit their applications before the noon deadline. Of course, there were also those who were still filling out their applications at the last minute,\u00ab he chuckles.<\/p>\n<p>One of the chief warden\u2019s main tasks was handling the vast amounts of incoming and outgoing mail:<\/p>\n<p>\u00bbWe got a mail sack every day that had to be distributed internally. I would walk around with a trolley full of baskets, personally delivering the mail to each and every office. On the day of the quota 2 deadline, a truck would turn up stacked with 18 sacks of mail.\u00ab<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"Image","image":{"ID":173941,"id":173941,"title":"Per betjent fra betjentstuen01","filename":"dsc_9316peribetjentstuenweb.jpg","filesize":243408,"url":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/dsc_9316peribetjentstuenweb.jpg","link":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/et-arbejdsliv-er-forbi\/dsc_9316-per-i-betjentstuen-web\/","alt":"","author":"8","description":"","caption":"","name":"dsc_9316-per-i-betjentstuen-web","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":174774,"date":"2025-02-26 20:18:53","modified":"2025-10-16 08:34:13","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":2400,"height":1600,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/dsc_9316peribetjentstuenweb-150x150.jpg","thumbnail-width":150,"thumbnail-height":150,"medium":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/dsc_9316peribetjentstuenweb-480x320.jpg","medium-width":480,"medium-height":320,"medium_large":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/dsc_9316peribetjentstuenweb-768x512.jpg","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":512,"large":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/dsc_9316peribetjentstuenweb-1280x853.jpg","large-width":1280,"large-height":853,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/dsc_9316peribetjentstuenweb-1536x1024.jpg","1536x1536-width":1536,"1536x1536-height":1024,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/dsc_9316peribetjentstuenweb-2048x1365.jpg","2048x2048-width":2048,"2048x2048-height":1365,"featured-soft":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/dsc_9316peribetjentstuenweb-290x193.jpg","featured-soft-width":290,"featured-soft-height":193,"featured-hard":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/dsc_9316peribetjentstuenweb-290x180.jpg","featured-hard-width":290,"featured-hard-height":180,"narrow":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/dsc_9316peribetjentstuenweb-700x467.jpg","narrow-width":700,"narrow-height":467,"extended":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/dsc_9316peribetjentstuenweb-990x660.jpg","extended-width":990,"extended-height":660}},"style":"extended","text_placement":"metadata-below","image_link_url":"","image_link_title":"","caption_prefix":"","enable_alternative_caption":true,"alternative_caption":"\u00bbI have been so happy working in these surroundings,\u00ab says Per R\u00f8dgaard Hansen about the central university buildings complex: \u00bbWhen the magnolia trees blossom in the yard, it just doesn't get nicer.\u00ab"},{"acf_fc_layout":"Content","content":"<p>Per R\u00f8dgaard Hansen was the only warden in the Student Administration for the first five years until he finally got a colleague:<\/p>\n<p>\u00bbIt was never lonely. I had my morning coffee with the women at the switchboard. And throughout the day, I was out and about, chatting with everyone while delivering the mail. Plenty of people would also pop their heads in to ask for a hand with various things. The tasks were varied, and there was a lot of social interaction across departments in those years,\u00ab he says, adding:<\/p>\n<p>\u00bbIn that respect, I think things have gone downhill \u2014 times have changed completely. It was a different era.\u00ab<\/p>\n<p>According to the chief warden, the combination of digitalisation, centralisation, and top-down management has not only changed work processes, but also the way people interact.<\/p>\n<p>\u00bbIn the early years, people didn\u2019t have personal computers yet \u2014 just screen terminals. We had a typing pool where a group of women worked,\u00ab he says, as he shares a story that seems almost unbelievable in light of today\u2019s heightened data security:<\/p>\n<p>\u00bbWhen student grants were to be paid out, a magnetic tape was produced, which I would collect from the IT department and take to the SU agency every two weeks, containing all the information on SU recipients at UCPH.\u00ab<\/p>\n<p>\u00bbThere were about 20 people in the IT department back then. Now, there are ten times as many.\u00ab<\/p>\n<h3>Submit a request<\/h3>\n<p>Per R\u00f8dgaard Hansen was made chief warden in 2009, heading up the wardens’ office in the Central Administration on <em>N\u00f8rregade<\/em>, which now had three wardens.<\/p>\n<p>Over the next 14 years, the wardens took on a variety of tasks, including room booking, key management, and coordinating maintenance work.<\/p>\n<p>It was not uncommon for a window to be broken on a Monday morning, thanks to drunken youths passing by on their way from the Str\u00f8get pedestrian street to the N\u00f8rreport station over the weekend, the chief warden explains:<\/p>\n<p>\u00bbI would call a glazier, and within an hour, the window was fixed. If someone had a faulty power socket, I called an electrician. And when a toilet kept running, I got in a plumber,\u00ab says Per, before switching from past to present tense:<\/p>\n<p>\u00bbThat\u2019s not how it works anymore. Every single task has to be registered digitally. Everything has become so much more bureaucratic. People used to just drop by, call, or send an email if they needed help. There was personal contact. Now, we have to log in, find the case, open it, process it, and then close it. Everything has to be documented. I think it\u2019s a waste of time.\u00ab<\/p>\n<p>\u00bbBut we had some good years in the warden\u2019s office because we handled so many different requests. It was enjoyable, and we talked to a lot of people throughout the day. No one knows where we are at nowadays. People don\u2019t just drop by. If someone needs to reach me they have to go through reception, which then contacts me. There are so many extra steps now.\u00ab<\/p>\n<h3>Loss of tasks and colleagues<\/h3>\n<p>It was decided in 2023 to merge all wardens and maintenance staff in the city centre into a joint operations unit at the CSS campus: Campus Service City. The warden\u2019s office on N\u00f8rregade was to be closed, with many of its functions taken over by a newly established reception.<\/p>\n<p>\u00bbEverything had to be centralised. The plan was for us to report to CSS every morning and then bike in to N\u00f8rregade, where most of our tasks are. We were against the move. Fortunately we were allowed to stay in the end,\u00ab says Per R\u00f8dgaard Hansen.<\/p>\n<p>The nice room that was the home of the warden\u2019s office was now repurposed for other uses however. The chief warden, his last remaining colleague, and their equipment all ended up in a low-ceilinged, windowless room in a corner of the basement of the Museum Building complex.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"Image","image":{"ID":173935,"id":173935,"title":"Per betjent i betjentstuen01","filename":"dsc_9294peribetjentstuenweb.jpg","filesize":313780,"url":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/dsc_9294peribetjentstuenweb.jpg","link":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/et-arbejdsliv-er-forbi\/dsc_9294-per-i-betjentstuen-web\/","alt":"","author":"8","description":"","caption":"","name":"dsc_9294-per-i-betjentstuen-web","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":174774,"date":"2025-02-26 20:18:47","modified":"2025-10-16 08:35:01","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":2400,"height":1600,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/dsc_9294peribetjentstuenweb-150x150.jpg","thumbnail-width":150,"thumbnail-height":150,"medium":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/dsc_9294peribetjentstuenweb-480x320.jpg","medium-width":480,"medium-height":320,"medium_large":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/dsc_9294peribetjentstuenweb-768x512.jpg","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":512,"large":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/dsc_9294peribetjentstuenweb-1280x853.jpg","large-width":1280,"large-height":853,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/dsc_9294peribetjentstuenweb-1536x1024.jpg","1536x1536-width":1536,"1536x1536-height":1024,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/dsc_9294peribetjentstuenweb-2048x1365.jpg","2048x2048-width":2048,"2048x2048-height":1365,"featured-soft":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/dsc_9294peribetjentstuenweb-290x193.jpg","featured-soft-width":290,"featured-soft-height":193,"featured-hard":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/dsc_9294peribetjentstuenweb-290x180.jpg","featured-hard-width":290,"featured-hard-height":180,"narrow":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/dsc_9294peribetjentstuenweb-700x467.jpg","narrow-width":700,"narrow-height":467,"extended":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/dsc_9294peribetjentstuenweb-990x660.jpg","extended-width":990,"extended-height":660}},"style":"full","text_placement":"metadata-below","image_link_url":"","image_link_title":"","caption_prefix":"","enable_alternative_caption":true,"alternative_caption":"Two wardens were allowed to stay in the inner city offices after their organisation was centralised.

Apart from the cleaning staff, that is, with whom they share a coffee machine, and wardens now and again from other service areas dropping off mail.<\/p>\n<p>\u00bbI wish they had shown a bit more human consideration here,\u00ab says Per R\u00f8dgaard Hansen.<\/p>\n<p>\u00bbIn the end, we were only two wardens left, as when our third colleague retired we weren\u2019t given a replacement. At our level, down at the very bottom, positions aren\u2019t refilled when someone leaves. The rest of us just have to work even harder,\u00ab he says.<\/p>\n<p>Per R\u00f8dgaard Hansen\u2019s position won’t be refilled either.<\/p>\n<p>The amount of physical mail has decreased due to digitalisation, and the wardens\u2019 tasks have changed rapidly.<\/p>\n<p>Per R\u00f8dgaard Hansen describes how in recent years his workday has started at 7 a.m., opening gates, raising the flag if it was a flag day, checking the university\u2019s meeting rooms, and coordinating the week\u2019s events in the grand Ceremonial Hall with the movers who set up and take down tables, chairs, and stages under his direction.<\/p>\n<p>The workday ended at 2 p.m., leaving time for a game of padel or classic tennis and to spend time with his two grown daughters when they visited his apartment in the N\u00f8rrebro district \u2014 where he moved from the Albertslund suburb after his divorce.<\/p>\n<p>When the opportunity arose to take a voluntary redundancy as part of the large-scale UCPH administration reform, he had no doubts that he should go for it:<\/p>\n<p>\u00bbI\u2019m almost 66 years old, so the timing is perfect for me. Now, I\u2019m going to do a lot of sports. I miss the western part of Copenhagen, so maybe I\u2019ll move back to Albertslund and get myself a little garden where I can do barbecues in the summer. Or maybe a small allotment house I can do some work on,\u00ab he says.<\/p>\n<p>\u00bbBut I also dream of doing more travelling,\u00ab he adds, listing the trips he has already taken to South Africa, India, China, Vietnam, and Indonesia. He loves skiing. Last year, he rented a car and drove around the western United States for two weeks.<\/p>\n<h3>The party is over<\/h3>\n<p>Per R\u00f8dgaard Hansen will turn 66 soon. He has spent 35 of those years at the University of Copenhagen. When he talks about his working life, there is a clear \u2018before\u2019 and \u2018after.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Before, he had considerable freedom to carry out his tasks as he saw fit. He had responsibility and was in contact with colleagues across many different departments:<\/p>\n<p>\u00bbIt was much nicer back in the day. We had a huge Christmas party in the Ceremonial Hall for everyone in the Central Administration, and afterwards, we drank beer and listened to music in Munkek\u00e6lderen. In the summer, a big tent was set up in Lindeg\u00e5rden for a grand summer party. In recent years, departments have held their own separate celebrations, so we only meet each other within the operations section. I miss the big events that brought together all the different staff groups,\u00ab he says, adding:<\/p>\n<p>\u00bbEverything has become centralised and top-down managed. When I started, there was a rector and a director running the place. Then the rector got one prorector, and today he has two. And the director now has eight deputy directors assisting him. It\u2019s the same at the faculties \u2014 they used to be led by a single dean. Now, there are faculty directors, associate deans, and so on.\u00ab<\/p>\n<p>\u00bbWhen I started here, 80 percent of the administration staff were secretarial level employees. Today, most of them have been replaced by officers, senior consultants, and chief consultants. That\u2019s why the salary budget has exploded, and I think that\u2019s the reason we had to go through this round of cuts.\u00ab<\/p>\n<p>In the first phase of the administration reform, it wasn\u2019t necessary to lay off administrative staff because an unexpectedly large number of employees accepted voluntary redundancy.<\/p>\n<p>Per R\u00f8dgaard Hansen raised the flag at the main building on Frue Plads for the last time on 28 February. He got nine months\u2019 salary and a farewell reception, which he shared with two colleagues.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"Image","image":{"ID":173939,"id":173939,"title":"Per betjent fra
