• L’affectation précise le lieu où les personnes remplissent leurs missions (institut, faculté). Elle confère aux personnes des droits politiques (élection et éligibilité)
• L’affiliation exprime le lien électif entre une personne et un institut de recherche. Elle confère aux personnes des droits politiques définis dans le règlement de l’institut.

rights of representation


Explanation:
I think this would fit the context. It could be rights to be elected to, or vote for the works committee or similar.

Well, perhaps not "works committee" - more like the University (Staff) Council...
