This Friday, the communes announced the appearance of the Minister of Universities, Nuria Montserrat and the rector of the University of Barcelona (UB) Joan Gaardia, for complaints at least six women about the offensive and inappropriate behavior of Professor Ramon Ramon for decades. A request for explanations of the general and the university arrives three days after Eldiario.es and three other funds, revealed certificates of scholarships, doctoral students and researchers who report that Errow asked their gender and massage.
The request of the appearance of the communes claim that they want to ask the minister what measures to take as a result of the case, and demand that “the application of the protocol against sexist violence at the university is guaranteed.” In addition, Guardia wants to ask “what specific measures” the rector took on.
At the moment, the university insisted that the research group leading to Arrow, Crea (Community of Research of Excellence for All) has not been appointed to the institution since 2020. Only these days, as this newspaper was also discovered, UB canceled the use of its funds for Congress, which organized this group in September, the European Conference on Family Violence. In parallel, they nevertheless claim that they did not open any investigations – only those that were archived in 2004 and 2016 – because they did not receive an internal complaint.
Those who also requested the explanations of the UB rector are members of the university feminist assembly, who in the statement ask the institution to accept letters on this issue and, besides the arrow, and the direction of creating any academic or labor liability. In this sense, they ask for an “immediate” opening of an “independent” and “impartial” investigation, in which Arrow Group members do not exist, in which there is no “intervention” that Soller now works. No groups that indicate as CREA in the framework of the University of Sociology Faculty: CIR (sociological theory I affects Reclerca) and GRSUD (Grup de Recerca in Educación Superdora de Imigualtats).
In his statement, the feminist assembly regrets that neither the institution nor the departments of sociology or economy positioned themselves with the victims publicly in the face of overcome information, and also ask for precautions to “temporarily separate” from their functions to directors Crea and Tsir and abandoned any academic functions related to Emerita Arrew Arrow.
“His constancy in hierarchical positions in the department and in research groups jeopardizes the justice of the process and aggravates the risk of revisioning or repression,” they say in a brief presentation. “The possibility that they can directly or indirectly influence the academic, labor conditions or assessment of victims of people or evidence justifies their preventive cessation.”
