Economic and Science Minister Hartmut Möllring has made elaborate key points for the higher education structure plan Saxony-Anhalt, reported the MDR. And this design has it all. Then, at an annual savings of 10 million euros. The Ministry itself, however, denied the MDR report, specific plans were not expected until the end.
To be closed, the media, computer science, psychology, physical sciences and geosciences. Furthermore, a Faculty shall be made tight. In future, the emphasis will be on the humanities and natural sciences.
Möllring wants stronger cooperation with the Universities of Jena and Leipzig, especially in smaller compartments. According MDR even greater cooperation in the agricultural and life sciences is provided with the Anhalt University, as well as the adoption of the collaboration platform polymer and plastics engineering at FH Merseburg, and greater cooperation with other research institutions as a continuation of the plastics competence center. Teacher training should be concentrated in the hall, the colleges are to be retired in the area vocational schools. Yet in all remaining courses compression of the fan structure and profile formation is provided. Expected a strong national visibility for individual research-intensive areas in all subject areas.
The energy-saving measures are 110 posts in the administration, as well as 140 scientific employees dropped. In addition, the number of places is reduced to 1,600.
Further 22.7 million euros would bring the closure of academic medicine. Here, however, no final decision has been made. In the structure plan Möllring is a "political taboo" is mentioned.
The austerity measures taken according to MDR but also the Otto-von-Guericke-University (-3600 places), the HS Magdeburg-Stendal (-1.200 places), the Hochschule Merseburg (-2090 places) and the Anhalt University. The savings target the government of EUR 53.3 million savings would only achieved with a closure of the hall shear unimedizin.
"The now become known shrinkage approach to higher education in the country the responsibility of the Minister of Science Möllring would the development of Saxony-Anhalt in the event of its implementation threaten fundamental. The concept shows that state government is dangerous for Saxony-Anhalt, "explain the explain the leader of the Left in parliament Wulf jelly and higher education policy spokesperson for the group Hendrik Lange. "The proposals make it clear what tremendous consequences the implementation of even a part of the planned cuts in higher education. In this respect remains clearly stated that a reasonable development of the higher education landscape in Saxony-Anhalt is incompatible with financial cutbacks. Anyone that has lifted the coalition of CDU and SPD in question for the cuts in higher education, the hand is for the discussion and proposed implications for the responsibility, "it said in a statement the left. "In the interest of the country, this country's government must be stopped. Coordinated protests by the victims, the opposition and all those who think seriously about the development of Saxony-Anhalt"
"I was deeply shocked when I saw the plans of the state government to the savings in universities. It was clear that the government of Prime Minister Reiner Haseloff is konzeptionslos - but that they want to distinguish themselves as gravediggers for our country, so I did not expect, "said the Green parliamentary leader in Parliament, Claudia Dalbert. "For medicine, the Science clearly says here that apprenticeships should not be reduced, otherwise lacking in a few years all over the country, the medical specialists. However, a deletion of preclinical education in Halle means just that. Why see the reduction plans of the state government right here in front of deletions?
If the planned cuts would be implemented at the University of Magdeburg, nearly four thousand of places, as well as hundreds of bodies would disappear from academic staff and administrative staff. The state government would damage as economic power and cultural life in Magdeburg.
Similarly, the image in Stendal: It is also a regional political decision to maintain a university here. And does a good job. Here, the state government must not go off with the axe.
Merseburg University of Applied Sciences Applied is one of the most successful applied universities that we have here in the country. Excellent teaching and excellent rankings external funding, a regional economic engine, as we can not wish it better ourselves. As the state government can come up with the idea to include such a gem, I can not understand.
too, the planned cuts for the University Halle show little knowledge of the higher education landscape. Here subjects are proposed for deletion, which are central to the provision of student quota in accordance with the Higher Education Pact, or provide essential services in teacher training. "
"Alliance 90/The Greens will not support this reduction madness. Here, the state government of Prime Minister Haseloff is not for the sake of the future of the country, but in reality blind cost-cutting schemes. We will bring the next week in parliament, at the budget debate, the language. And of course we will, together with the covenants with which we demonstrated against the planned cuts before the summer recess of Parliament, now go on the road. These cutbacks were a Todessstoß for Saxony-Anhalt "
To the current public debate on the universities in Saxony-Anhalt, the Chairman of the CDU parliamentary group in the Landtag of Saxony-Anhalt, André Schröder. "The guidance given by the CDU by the existing parliamentary decisions still applies. Before a parliamentary decision, the parties are to be heard in Parliament. We will comment on individual proposals only if the overall concept was presented and explained. The current media reports have been denied by the responsible Ministry. The reforming willing opposition operates obvious campaign. Words such as, Death Strike for Saxony-Anhalt, are underground for our culture of debate, "said Schroeder concluded.
It is crazy that the local government thinks that it is a good idea to remove the geography, Computer science and psycholocial department in an effort to save cash...
