Organizational model

Sit is one of the student welfare organizations in Norway. Student welfare is a distinctive organizational form with elements of:

  • Management: a law governing our business, all colleges and universities should be attached to a welfare organization, and students are required to pay tuition.
  • Association: students have a majority on the board.
  • Business: large parts of the business operate on a commercial basis, where revenues come from customers.

We have no owners, and the board is our highest authority. The board consists of representatives chosen by the students with a majority vote, representatives from the major educational institutions, and representatives elected by the employees. In addition, the Ministry of Education has supervision of our business.
