On Monday, it is expected that Berlin universities will sue the Senate. According to the President of BHT, Julia Neuhaus, the application is preparing to participate in all Berlin universities. The probability of a successful trial will be good, at least after a legal imprisonment at the press conference at a press conference in the House of Representatives. In addition to students, trade union activists came: inside and president of the university: Inside.
According to the report, the Senate is not unilaterally unilaterally disclose contracts signed in February 2024 with universities to restructure financially. The Senate may ask universities about negotiations – however, they should not agree. This has never happened, the Senate puts universities in front of quasi-entrusted facts, President Tu Geraldin Rauch criticizes at a press conference: “We did not agree to negotiations.”
Nevertheless, universities continue negotiations with the Senate on Monday, hoping to reach an agreement even without a trial. The complaint specifically depends on how much money universities receive in the last round of negotiations.
Does not participate at eye level
The President of the University is criticized: not only scarce money inside, but also the fact that they do not participate transparently at the eye level. “This should be a joint process that universities should do, and not only where we are kindly involved,” Rauch demands.
The President of TU criticizes that reductions fall at a time when scientific systems are attacked around the world, for example, sharp reduction in scholarships and training programs in the United States. In this country, universities are also under pressure from all parties.
One example here is the article for the “de -bourratization” of Leopold, the National Academy of Sciences in Galle (Saala), in which areas such as equal opportunities are noted as additional bureaucratic costs that must be removed. According to Leopold, the commissars for equality and security of professional security are “secondary goals”, the financing of which should be avoided in “scientific institutions and, if necessary, canceled”. In general, it is more hopeful to say that some areas, such as equality measures or even humanitarian and social sciences, in general, criticize Rauha.
Only recently, the Senator of the Science Science (SPD) was faced with great criticism when she proposed the complete removal of the humanities in that Berlin. Nevertheless, the fact that technical universities offer humanities is a student of the Nazi era in order not to do natural sciences.
The world famous
In practice, reduction will have a completely different effect. This is how critical social sciences often affect more hard than scientific fields. For example, social and cultural anthropology at a free university threatens to completely break away.
Berlin is known for international exchange and institutions of critical social and humanities, such as the Center for Social Criticism or the Berlin Scientific Center for Social Research (WZB). The historically significant institution of critical political science is also known at the international level due to the 68-Student movement.
The Secretary of the Verdi trade union Jan Seppelt emphasizes that science, in addition to art and culture, is one of the most important sources of income for the country. A million investments are introduced to the city, in particular, through the acquisition of funds of third parties. It is dramatic that the abbreviations threaten to miss two of the five clusters of superiority. Research associations attracted a particularly large number of third -party funds.
Science has no priority in black and red

“Science has no priority in black and red,” adds Tobias Schulce scientific politician (left). He speaks of an “anti -reference reflex”, which from Berlin to the federal government no longer recognizes the value of science for society and democracy at the international level.
Bad working conditions
The Secretary of the Union Seppelt criticizes the press conference that, in particular, unreliable people will suffer from abbreviations in the deadlings. It is clear for Verdi that they do not allow deviations of the collective agreement: “Anyone who concludes collective agreements should expect our resistance,” says Seppelt.
Seppelt explains that you are not out of life for employees. Working conditions for young scientists, in particular: inside are bad. According to the current university report of the German Trade Union Confederation, 82 percent of researchers work over a limited period. The previous Senate with red-red green wanted to help with the obligation to dispose of postdrods. Only last Thursday, the Federal Constitutional Court ruled that this exceeded the competencies of Berlin.
This Monday will show whether Berlin can continue to exist as economic and scientific places. For the president, Tu Rauch and her colleagues: inside it became clear that they “never allow this process to extract from this process.” On Monday, universities were widely mobilized at demonstrations before the Senate Science Department.
