It is impossible to know exactly how many international students were among the thousands who waved banners or sported face paints at the demonstration June 8 in Frue Plads.<\/p>\n
However, chairperson of Student Council (DSR) of the Faculty of Life Sciences Ida I. Engelund estimates that there were very few:<\/p>\n
\u00bbWe from the Faculty of Life Sciences met up before the demonstration, and there were no international students,\u00ab says Ida I. Engelund. <\/p>\n
\u00bbAll of the posters and information about the demonstration is in Danish. We do not have the resources to make banners and posters ourselves, so we get them from the General Student Council. We could perhaps ask them to make some available in English,\u00ab she says.<\/p>\n
\u00bbThe cutbacks are also relevant for overseas students, as this could mean fewer teaching hours nd larger classes for them too,\u00ab she says.<\/p>\n
Information encouraging staff to join the demonstration was available in English on the faculty\u2019s internal website, says communication staff member Kirsten Jenlev.<\/p>\n
\u00bbWe translated the notice as soon as we received it, and put it on the site. We judged that it could not wait and so translated it at once,\u00ab she says.<\/p>\n
