Dear fellow students,
In all the welcome address and official welcome speeches that your durftet experience in your present high school career, was probably emphasized again that you have made the right choice because of Augsburg is a great study, Bavarian universities virtually per se forefront of science and also represent the bachelor's degree now allows optimistic forecasts. Consent, self-praise and quality is playing everywhere. I would not say now, all lying flat - but it is my opinion, pretty close, because that this is certainly not the truth, at least not the whole thing, you know with euerm gut feeling just as well, it is not only spoken officially about it, so I take my now out two minutes this freedom.
What does study originally? The study should be an education for maturity, as a person and as a scientist. This responsibility is sometimes only be produced by an education to the opposition and resistance. Only then can is what the philosopher Immanuel Kant said that if he says, enlightenment is man's emergence from his self-imposed immaturity update. (You all know the quote) From this education to the opposition and resistance to exercise the ability of criticism, is currently seen in the German higher education landscape, unfortunately, nothing more.
Today there are almost entirely a demand for customization and flexibility, according to instrumental / practical reason, after train-ing. The University serves primarily baldnur even private variables (spirit of the so-called neo-liberalism) and knows no socio-political or cultural objectives more. But therein lies their
real sense, their essential task. It should also be reflective and corrective to the social and historical processes. The former university autonomy, academic autonomy is now the universal force of
given way to self-promotion. The Third Party Acquisition, then the money to afford the universities to receive the benefits of the free economy, characterized today in the success of science. In the same breath is to be noted striking increase in high school advertising. Who does not like to be welcomed by a friendly "Enjoy your meal" of O2 in the cafeteria, or the Bavarian Radio asked to hear him because he would otherwise die or sets times in passing quickly all their personal data for a market research company open to participate in the competition for a unique 600 € scholarship? - That's all is ridiculous!
Speaking of ridiculous - one way or the other of you is the last days may post from the CHE, which is the center for higher education development - a 100% Bertelsmann received subsidiary to assist in the evaluation of his / her
degree program to help. The CHE installed by the forced ranking can be a competitive battle and nobody was responsible for tuition, education, privatization and the current implementation of the Bologna process. I can only recommend a boycott of the rankings fetish.
Modularization, So the conversion to Bachelor and Master is associated with a massive increase
of learning and performance pressures, coupled with control and
uncritical thinking. In six semesters you can not work out on the ability to judge studied
compartment, but this is then seen as a problem indivuduelles, No -
An immediate change must be to master for those without access
condition or other criteria. We students are involved, would-be scientists and do not expose anyone consuming customers. (There should be) just a note on why the student opportunities for participation within the University policy. You have to understand that in Bavaria the written student bodies were abolished 1973rd This means that the student representatives are not public bodies and have no financial budget. At the local university is the Asta (perhaps because of it) is now on student service organization and has become, unfortunately, no independent political subject with more character. This precarious student participation is reflected in Augsburg reflected in the two highest decision-making. With only one representative as against 15 professors in the enlarged
University Management (Supervisory Board) and external (economic) agents within the University Council (Board), we are students represented.
Another unacceptable impact of the student body are not written the student assistant jobs, so the student tutorials and office jobs are paid at the University of Augsburg, ungrateful student pay 6.50 euros, certainly no holiday or Christmas bonus or sick pay in case of illness. A double
Verarschung is when you know that these jobs are mainly financed by tuition fees, since it now so now 6 terms in Bavaria, Hesse on how to exist in all other EU countries governed. The tuition fees are the exchange ratio of economic to cultural capital. I find there the following formations are quite aptly: The German education system is like a sieve, only those with liquid through. (And the social selection starts so not only with the tuition fees, then you are so (supposedly) already reached the top there are in Germany a four-tier education system (primary school, secondary school, secondary school and special school);. Only 17 countries across Europe afford such a conservative reactionary education system, 16 of which are in Germany ...
And why is it all so got a look at the statistics provides answers: The proportion of university expenditure on gross domestic product by 1% in 1970) dropped to 0.85% in 2000, while at the same time doubling the numbers of students. The entire education budget is for Germany currently at only 4.5% of GDP, almost one percentage point below the OECD average. This is a political decision!
Where is also possible to determine an incongruity, the proportion of women among the professors. The FRG it occupies 15% of women with the second worst in Europe, in Augsburg is this hidden discrimination "only" 18%. Point I would like to representatives of all university locations right-wing chauvinist fraternities and connections, who always go at the baseline to junior hunting, ye will later meet in the foyer, are the men with the funny sashes around the waist.
With said it was not my intention to make you studying in Augsburg worm, but only the dark side there deliberately delay.
In this sense,
you do not let discourage incapacitate
not let you, you
Preserves critical faculties, and keep not your discomfort for you!
Good luck, and the stage!
