The editors of the series published by the University will share the responsibility for the quality of language in publications in the series. Staff language competence and language education for the staff The official language of the University is Finnish. Everybody has the right however, when taking care of personal issues, to use either Finnish or Swedish and to receive the relevant documentation in the language they have used. Administrative units are responsible for there being staff members with sufficient competence in Swedish. When new staff is recruited, attention will be paid to their competence to take care of professional duties in English or another international language. This can be considered an additional qualification for appointment. The University will provide its staff with supplementary and brush-up language training in the mother tongue and in foreign languages and will give the staff opportunities for independent language learning. Information material, information on the web, sign posting Suppliers of information material, brochures, and information available on the web are responsible for the language and layout of the material. If considered necessary, it is to be checked by competent experts. All administrative units within the University have Finnish web pages of their own. In addition to the Finnish web pages, the University also has web pages in English which contain an appropriate selection of material from the Finnish pages. The sign posting on campus will be updated in accordance with plans drawn by the PR and Information Unit and the University Facilities Unit. Finnish signs will be supplemented with signs in English. Follow-up The University will appoint a Language Policy Committee for a set period. The Committee will observe the implementation of the University Language Policy and make recommendations for the implementation of language political objectives. The Committee is also responsible for promoting collaboration and integration of activities between various administrative units in the area of languages. The members of the Committee represent all administrative units responsible for language education and other units giving instruction, administrative staff, and the Student Union. The Language Policy will be revised when considered necessary, at least every three years.
