‘… the situation is more dramatic …’
Our options for action:
We deal responsibly with the framework conditions set by the state government, which we consider to be the wrong way to cut back. We are focusing on the strengths and core profile of our university. In doing so, positions will not be refilled; important tasks and services will no longer be continued.
We want to make the focusing process as participatory and transparent as possible. As university management, we will make viable decisions based on comprehensible parameters and criteria. We will keep you continuously informed about this process – on this website, in the Senate and the University Assembly, as well as in various rounds of talks.
Schedule – This is currently happening:
Central:
July: The focusing scenarios requested by the central administration and the central institutions are evaluated by the university management and proposals for cuts are discussed.
End of July: The Executive Board makes decisions, informs the heads of the departments, staff units and central institutions and involves the Staff Council.
Departments:
July/August: Talks between the President and the Chancellor with the deans and management of the departments
By the end of November: Departments draw up proposals for the content-related and financial development of the departments
December: Review of the proposals by the university management
January 2026: Executive Board discusses and decides analogous to the decision in July 2025
