The lead candidate for the Student Council looks forward to working on the Board and is pleased with a record turnout.
Students against the Occupation were removed from South Campus by police Tuesday evening. They failed what the Rector of the University of Copenhagen has called the 'sock test'. The students – who literally protested shoeless, and in their socks – don't understand why. We no longer have patience for Israel-Palestine demonstrations, the rector replies.
Business-oriented master's programmes and shortened degrees cannot be achieved within the current framework, says key committee. The National Union of Students in Denmark says political reform ambitions are »a mirage,« as multiple stakeholders now call for renegotiation and postponement.
You want to be a good university citizen. And you want to exercise your democratic right to vote. Here is a guide to the University of Copenhagen's elections.

Parts of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem are, according to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' assessment, located on occupied Palestinian territory. The question is whether this can prompt the University of Copenhagen to change its course regarding the partner university.
The University of Copenhagen should not take part in activities that take place on occupied land, the rector emphasizes, because that is what Danish foreign policy is. But the university should never, on its own initiative, restrict its own freedom because then the institution loses credibility. The University Post has spoken to Henrik C. Wegener about an academic boycott.
The Sino-Danish Center (SDC) was set up to strengthen research collaboration between Denmark and China. Now it is at the centre of a complex dilemma between academic freedom and national security. And in the meantime, Danish students and researchers continue to be sent to China.
University employees are showing their support of students' goals and methods and putting pressure on UCPH managers for an academic boycott of Israel.
The University of Copenhagen has listened to the protests and is now withdrawing its investments from companies operating in Israeli-occupied territories.
