The Dean usually acts as chairman of the Appointments Board. A union representative is allowed to attend and speak at the Board's deliberations. The Head of Department is invited to the Board's processing of recruitments related to his/her department.

In cases involving employment of teachers whose main duties are in the field of educational sciences, one to three members are co-opted with personal deputies appointed by the Board of the Faculty of Educational Sciences.
