And of course, people have an understanding that I&#8217;m not into every detail in all of the areas,&#8221; says Kristian Hegaard, who is only taking 15 ECTS credits at university this semester in order to fit in his life as politician with his studies.<\/p>\n<h3>Acquitted in town court<\/h3>\n<p>Last autumn Kristian Hegaard made media headlines by being <a href=\"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/lecturer-takes-student-to-court-after-teaching-complaint\/\">taken to court by his teacher<\/a>, an external lecturer in tax law Michael Bj\u00f8rn Hansen.<\/p>\n<p>He believed that Hegaard had offended his honour by complaining about his teaching at the University of Copenhagen.<\/p>\n<p>Hegaard was <a href=\"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/court-acquits-student-of-defamation-charge\/\">acquitted in the case<\/a> \u2013 first in the town court in Helsing\u00f8r in September, and then in the beginning of 2017 a district court dismissed the case. Today, the Social Liberal politician is happy to have the lawsuit is out of the way.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The district court refused to take the case because they concluded that they would come to the same result as the town court. So it was nice to be confirmed in the fact that you have the right to complain about your teaching as a student,&#8221; says Kristian Hegaard, who returns to his studies in August.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"ArticleEnd"},{"acf_fc_layout":"Banner","img":false,"url":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"OtherStories","headline":"","hand_picked_posts":false,"references":false,"category":false,"theme":false,"number_of_posts":"4","style":"default"}],"article_updated":""},"taxonomyData":{"category":[{"term_id":48,"name":"Politics","slug":"politics","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":48,"taxonomy":"category","description":"","parent":0,"count":1036,"filter":"raw"}],"post_tag":[],"post_format":[],"expression":[{"term_id":15,"name":"News Article","slug":"news_article","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":15,"taxonomy":"expression","description":"","parent":0,"count":11493,"filter":"raw"}],"translation_priority":[]},"featured_media_url":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/hegaard_1000pix.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48752","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/33"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=48752"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48752\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":117555,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48752\/revisions\/117555"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/48755"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=48752"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=48752"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=48752"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
