Almost the entire teaching staff at the Department of Biology back a joint declaration to the board of management protesting an impending cull of staff.<\/p>\n
The letter can be seen on our Danish sister site uniavisen.dk.<\/p>\n
\u00bbThe cuts already carried out have in one year destroyed research areas that have taken decades to build up, also in areas that are in particular focus abroad,\u00ab they write in a joint letter of protest:<\/p>\n
\u00bbWe have heard so many contradictory arguments, both from the management of the University of Copenhagen (and politicians), that we have completely lost faith in management. We know that considerable amounts of University of Copenhagen funds have been used to move different groups from our department around to other buildings before both rounds of redundancies,\u00ab they write.<\/p>\n
The dissent is not only among the lower ranks: <\/p>\n
In an unprecedented move, two deputy heads of the biology department Michael K\u00fchl and Olaf Nielsen, have formulated another open protest to the board, Rector Ralf Hemmingsen and the Dean of the Faculty of Science Nils O. Andersen.<\/p>\n
