Dear students and colleagues !
In Germany most universities have gone on strike to call attention to the
desperate situation of educational politics here.
Unlike e.g. the USA there are no university-fees in Germany, but on the
other hand there are very few possibilities to finance your studies with
scholarships. So most students have to work in jobs while studying.
The aims of the protests are:
- to prevent the deletion of funds for universities
- to prevent further cuts in personell, causing 'non-profitable' small
departements (especially arts) to be closed down
- to prevent the introduction of university-fees
- to prevent the forced eviction of long-term students
- to prevent further restrictions of the freedom of science and teaching
We hope to strengthen our position with many solidarity-declarations -
especially from foreign universities and scientists - to stop the decline
of german universities!!
Please send Your solidarity-declaration with this message to us:
[log in to unmask]
and to the gouvernment:
[log in to unmask]
Many thanks in advance for Your help and support
