While the Student Council congratulates the University of Copenhagen and the Faculty of Health Science on the huge donation from the Novo Nordisk Foundation, it maintains its criticism of the lack of investment in university course teaching and degree education. <\/p>\n
Too much funding is earmarked for research, the students say.<\/p>\n
\u00bbThe present cutbacks of the 2010 budget have hit the university degree programmes hard, where layoffs and hiring freezes have been the direct consequence. It is therefore untenable that large sums go to specific research while the university teaching and education is bleeding to death,\u00ab says chairman Bjarke Rubow.<\/p>\n
He calls for political action to ensure more non-earmarked government fund\u00edng to the University of Copenhagen and more subsidies through the Danish public taxameter subsidy system.<\/p>\n
