The host department representative is appointed by the head of the institute to act as a liaison between the institute management/dean and the Friday bars and associations in an area. The house representative works closely with Building Services.

Borrowing rooms
The house representative, together with Arts Building Services, considers requests for borrowing rooms from associations, Friday bars, and students who wish to hold an event in one of Arts' rooms. 

Follow-up on incidents
If agreements are not adhered to or if accidents, violence, vandalism, or similar occur at an event, the house representative, together with Arts Building Services, will follow up on the incident. The follow-up may consist of preventive measures and/or sanctions. For example, vandalism or grossly negligent behavior causing damage to furniture and/or buildings may result in a bill for repair costs being sent to the perpetrator or the Friday bar/party association.

• You are always welcome to contact your host department representative if you have any questions or concerns
