Besetzte Hochschulautonomie: Berliner Verhältnisse am Tag des Grundgesetzes (Verfassungsblog, 2024-06-03)
------

"Am 23. Mai, dem Tag des Grundgesetzes, wurde das am Vortag von Studierenden besetzte Institut für Sozialwissenschaften der Berliner Humboldt-Universität (HU), polizeilich geräumt. Die Präsidentin der HU, ... sprach hinterher davon, dass sie von der Wissenschaftssenatorin und dem Regierenden Bürgermeister angewiesen worden sei, die Besetzung zu beenden. Aus diesem Anlass fragt der folgende Beitrag nach den Voraussetzungen und Grenzen der Aufsicht des Senats gegenüber der Hochschule. Dabei zeigt sich, dass die Hochschulautonomie der Präsidentin einen weiten Ermessensspielraum verschafft, auf derartige Situation zu reagieren, und – auf Grundlage der bislang bekannten Tatsachen – eine Weisung in der vorliegenden Situation rechtswidrig gewesen wäre."

Berlin university lecturers sign open letter of solidarity with protesting students (The Berliner, 2024-05-10)
———
✊
“More than 300 teachers from #Berlin universities have signed an open letter in solidarity with students protesting the war on Gaza.”

“The letter doesn’t take a stance on the demands of the demonstrators, but instead defends the students’ right to use university property as a site of protest…”

“… The letter, which also includes the signatures of more than 500 staff members from other universities in #Germany and abroad, calls for Berlin universities ‘to refrain from police operations against their own students and from further criminal prosecution.’”

“Unsurprisingly, the letter has been met with criticism from the political establishment…” 🔥

“Several hundred students set up a non-violent anti-war protest camp at #FU #Berlin today. The police cleared the camp within hours — like this. The FU administration at the scene did not negotiate with the protesters. They refused to comment.”

“We demand that the University of #Cambridge: discloses and divests from its financial and professional support for Israel's genocide of Palestinians in Gaza; re-invests in affected academics; and protects all forced migrants and protesting students.”
