BSN is an independent foundation with 598 housing units for BI students. The foundation was started by BI students in Sandvika in the 1990s and is still directly connected to BI and the students through the board. The board consists of the resident representative with a deputy, external representatives, a representative from BI, and a representative from BISO. The board approves remuneration annually; in 2023, the resident representative was compensated with NOK 31,239, and the deputy representative with NOK 2,603 per meeting. The deputy is expected to attend every meeting, approximately 6-7 times a year.
The resident representative is initially elected as a deputy to become familiar with the tasks in collaboration with the current resident representative. This way, the deputy and the resident representative work as a team on issues that affect the residents. Additionally, they manage a welfare budget of approximately NOK 80,000 annually, which has previously been used for events for residents, furnishing the rooftop terrace, and more.
Brian Dale took over as the resident representative in the spring of 2024. The newly elected deputy will become a full board member during 2025.
