Students and staff in the Faculty of Humanities at the University of Copenhagen are facing a second round of budget cuts that is likely to result in positions being eliminated.<\/p>\n
The details of the cuts are laid out in a proposal put forward for comment by the Dean\u2019s Office. The plan was drawn up based on the recommendations of four working groups made up of student and staff representatives. Each of the working groups was asked to identify the areas where a spending reduction would have least impact.<\/p>\n
The cuts are part of an effort to eliminate 151 million kroner in spending resulting from an order by the government to save 2% annually between 2016 and 2019.<\/p>\n
The order resulted in the first so-called adjustment round last spring. At that time, some 90 million kroner in savings were identified, in large part through the elimination of 86 positions. The remaining 60 million kroner has yet to be identified. Were the savings to be made through staff reductions alone, it would require slashing another 20 jobs.<\/p>\n
The list of potential savings identified by the working groups is long, but among the more notable are: a reduction in the amount of time staff has for guidance and grading, using a minimum number of examiners during exams and fewer elective courses.<\/p>\n
Faculty administration will also be reduced, and may see some of the tasks currently carried out at the faculty level centralised at the department level.<\/p>\n
Our hope is that most of the adjustment can be made by not rehiring for positions after people quit or retire<\/p>\n
Dean Ulf Hedetoft<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
The proposal identifies 6.6 million kroner in administrative expenses that can be trimmed, resulting in the elimination of 13 positions. Libraries will also be affected through a planned merger and through the closing of three of the current eight service counters, where students can pick up books or speak with a librarian. The 2.3 million kroner expected to be taken from library operations will involve eliminating seven jobs.<\/p>\n
During a faculty meeting on 15 September, Dean Ulf Hedetoft explained that two-thirds of the remaining 60 million kroner would be found through staff reductions.<\/p>\n
\u201cStaff reductions are about the same proportion of the overall cuts as they were during the adjustment we made last spring, when 86 positions were eliminated. Our hope is that most of the adjustment can be made by not rehiring for positions after people quit or retire. But we should expect that there will also be layoffs,\u201d Hedetoft wrote in a statement accompanying a presentation available on KUnet.<\/p>\n
Fewer libraries, worse learning<\/h3>\n
The Student Council of the Faculty of Humanities called together students for a meeting on 16 May to discuss the plan. Asta Otto, a member of the council\u2019s board of directors, said many students are worried.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe previous cuts were bad, but they had less of a direct impact. Merging library operations and firing library staff will have a very direct impact on our studies,\u201d Otto said.<\/p>\n
The reduction will bring down the number of library staff by about half, while those that remain will be less specialised.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith less staff available to help, it will be harder for students to find the books they need,\u201d Otto said.<\/p>\n
Demonstration Thursday<\/h3>\n
In November, 50 students staged a demonstration that barred entry to the Dean\u2019s Office in protest over the cuts. Another protest was planned at the meeting, but this time the council changed tactics in the hope it could attract more students.<\/p>\n
The demonstration took place on Karen Blixens Plads (the plaza in front of KUA 2), on Thursday, 18 May. Representatives from trade unions, library staff and the student council addressed the gathering.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe wanted to hold a demonstration that attracts more people than our first one did,\u201d Otto said. \u201cWe wanted to let them know we\u2019re not happy, and we wanted to give the faculty and the staff the chance to have their say.\u201d<\/p>\n
No comment<\/h3>\n
Hedtoft said he would not comment on the cuts while the comment period was open. He underscored, however, that students and staff were welcome to take part in the process.<\/p>\n
The faculty\u2019s administration supports the proposals made by the working groups.<\/p>\n
A final decision will be made on 20 June.

The 2.3 million kroner expected to be taken from library operations will involve eliminating seven jobs.<\/p>\n<p>During a faculty meeting on 15 September, Dean Ulf Hedetoft explained that two-thirds of the remaining 60 million kroner would be found through staff reductions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStaff reductions are about the same proportion of the overall cuts as they were during the adjustment we made last spring, when 86 positions were eliminated. Our hope is that most of the adjustment can be made by not rehiring for positions after people quit or retire. But we should expect that there will also be layoffs,\u201d Hedetoft wrote in a statement accompanying a presentation available on KUnet.<\/p>\n<h3>Fewer libraries, worse learning<\/h3>\n<p>The Student Council of the Faculty of Humanities called together students for a meeting on 16 May to discuss the plan. Asta Otto, a member of the council\u2019s board of directors, said many students are worried.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe previous cuts were bad, but they had less of a direct impact. Merging library operations and firing library staff will have a very direct impact on our studies,\u201d Otto said.<\/p>\n<p>The reduction will bring down the number of library staff by about half, while those that remain will be less specialised.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith less staff available to help, it will be harder for students to find the books they need,\u201d Otto said.<\/p>\n<h3>Demonstration Thursday<\/h3>\n<p>In November, 50 students staged a demonstration that barred entry to the Dean\u2019s Office in protest over the cuts. Another protest was planned at the meeting, but this time the council changed tactics in the hope it could attract more students.<\/p>\n<p>The demonstration took place on Karen Blixens Plads (the plaza in front of KUA 2), on Thursday, 18 May. Representatives from trade unions, library staff and the student council addressed the gathering.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe wanted to hold a demonstration that attracts more people than our first one did,\u201d Otto said. \u201cWe wanted to let them know we\u2019re not happy, and we wanted to give the faculty and the staff the chance to have their say.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>No comment<\/h3>\n<p>Hedtoft said he would not comment on the cuts while the comment period was open. He underscored, however, that students and staff were welcome to take part in the process.<\/p>\n<p>The faculty\u2019s administration supports the proposals made by the working groups.<\/p>\n<p>A final decision will be made on 20 June.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"ArticleEnd"},{"acf_fc_layout":"Banner","img":false,"url":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"OtherStories","headline":"","hand_picked_posts":false,"references":[{"reference":{"ID":3303,"post_author":"12","post_date":"2016-06-29 10:20:36","post_date_gmt":"2016-06-29 08:20:36","post_content":"<span class=\"dropcap\">K<\/span>risen kradser nu for alvor p\u00e5 Humaniora.

Dav\u00e6rende uddannelsesminister Esben Lunde Larsen (V) bad i den forbindelse de 'kornfede' universiteter om at udvise samfundssind. \r\n\r\n<h2>Afskedigelser kan ikke undg\u00e5s<\/h2>\r\nSiden da f\u00f8rte en s\u00e5kaldt tilpasningsrunde p\u00e5 KU til, at 86 stillinger blev nedlagt alene p\u00e5 Humaniora. Ti fag blev ogs\u00e5 sparet v\u00e6k, og institutter blev sl\u00e5et sammen. Nu viser det sig, at det ikke er nok. \r\n\r\nFakultetet skal samlet spare 150 mio. kroner og har allerede fundet besparelser for de 90. M\u00f8det den 9. september drejede sig om at finde besparelser for de resterende 60 mio. kroner. \r\n\r\nUlf Hedetoft, dekan ved Humaniora, siger direkte i pressemeddelelsen, at 'afskedigelser kan ikke undg\u00e5s', fordi de fleste af fakultetets udgifter g\u00e5r til l\u00f8n, og to tredjedele af besparelserne skal findes p\u00e5 l\u00f8nbudgettet. \r\n\r\n<h2>Slipper for at nedl\u00e6gge fag<\/h2>\r\nTil geng\u00e6ld undg\u00e5r Humaniora at skulle nedl\u00e6gge flere fag. \r\n\r\nDog skal to institutter l\u00e6gges sammen. Det drejer sig om Institut for Nordiske Studier og Sprogvidenskab, der skal fusionere med Nordisk Forskningsinstitut. \r\n\r\nUlf Hedetoft siger ogs\u00e5, at fakultetet i dag bruger en tredjedel af alle uddannelsesmidler til eksamen og udgifter til censorer, og i den ny plan er m\u00e5let at bruge en st\u00f8rre del af de midler i undervisningslokalet. \r\n\r\n<h2>Mindre valgfrihed i undervisningen<\/h2>\r\nFor de studerende er den gode nyhed derfor, at de fortsat vil f\u00e5 12 timers ugentlig undervisning p\u00e5 bacheloren og otte timer p\u00e5 kandidaten. \r\n\r\nDen d\u00e5rlige nyhed er, at besparelserne vil g\u00e5 ud over valgfriheden. Det kan ramme Humanioras vifte af op imod til 200 tilvalgsfag, som de bachelorstuderende har at v\u00e6lge imellem p\u00e5 tredje \u00e5r i dag. \r\n\r\nDe kandidatstuderende kan f\u00e5 f\u00e6rre valgfrie kurser, hvor de i dag har op til 15 kurser at v\u00e6lge imellem. \r\n\r\nBehovet for besparelser kommer ogs\u00e5 fra - udover to procents-sparekravet - sk\u00e6rpede optagelseskrav (de studerende skal fremover skal have minimum 6.0 i karaktergennemsnit) samt et krav om dimensionering af uddannelserne. Det giver f\u00e6rre studerende og dermed f\u00e6rre indt\u00e6gter for Det Humanistiske Fakultet. \r\n\r\n<h2>Frygter heksejagt p\u00e5 Humaniora<\/h2>\r\nP\u00e5 Christiansborg v\u00e6kker nedsk\u00e6ringerne p\u00e5 Humaniora bekymring hos to af de partier, som st\u00e5r uden for det politiske flertal for besparelser p\u00e5 universitetsomr\u00e5det.\r\n\r\n\u00bbJeg synes, det er en katastrofal udvikling, og jeg forst\u00e5r ikke, at man ikke har blik for, at der er andre hensyn at tage end aktuelle hensyn til erhvervslivet,\u00ab siger Caroline Maier, forskningspolitisk ordf\u00f8rer for Alternativet. \r\n\r\nSF's forsknings- og uddannelsespolitisk ordf\u00f8rer Jacob Mark deler bekymringen.\r\n\r\n\u00bbJeg frygter, at vi st\u00e5r ved starten p\u00e5 en stor heksejagt imod humaniora, fordi der er brug for at kunne arbejde med ideer og begreber om, hvordan man holder sammen p\u00e5 et samfund,\u00ab siger han. \u00bbHumaniora har en v\u00e6rdi, fordi det f\u00e5r mennesker til at reflektere over samfundet, som det er i dag og er et redskab til at kunne analysere det.\u00ab\r\n\r\nanfj@adm.ku.dk","post_title":"Dekan: Humaniora kommer til at fyre igen","post_excerpt":"BESPARELSER \u2013 Det Humanistiske Fakultet p\u00e5 K\u00f8benhavns Universitet skal finde yderligere besparelser for 60 mio. kroner som f\u00f8lge af regeringens krav fra 2015 om at sk\u00e6re i budgettet med to procent om \u00e5ret over fire \u00e5r.
