Tl;dr: Petition against problematic new Higher Education Law.
The Bavarian Higher Education Law is being amended. The direction of this reform is against democratic structures, against small subjects and for an „entrepreneurial“ and economically more active university. The key points paper shows that the legal basis for our universities is to be kept minimal, so that democratic minimum standards, participation of all and control mechanisms by status groups can simply be abolished.
Are good teaching, internships, seminars, etc. important to you? The key points paper does not include a budget for funds to improve teaching, as it is also co-administered by student representatives in its current form. This is currently used to finance many tutorials, internships and longer library opening hours, among other things.
In this petition, the Stuve opposes the demise of small subjects, demands democratic participation for all status groups at all decision-making levels, a sustainable university and opposes the elimination of study grants.
We students are the largest status group at universities, so our interests must not be forgotten in this law and we should therefore also publicly stand up for our interests. Do you find yourself in these demands? Then sign the petition and spread the word.
