It\u2019s certainly easier for us to come into contact with the professors here<\/p>\n
Bolette Birk Rich, law student, about moving to South Campus<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
\u201cNo.\u201d answers Bolette. \u201cAt the beginning, some complained that we lacked study spaces – then we found out, that there actually were some. They were just a little further off.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lucas is a little more critical.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe study environment at Theology suffered in the move. Our students complained over a lack of study spaces. But now we have set up a classroom as a study room instead. We also had a problem with the fact that our new \u201cwalking hall\u201d is a bit like a train station. But we have a really good collaboration with the faculty, and have solved it by installing new shelves, for example.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cCan you get something else from the inner city,?\u201d asks Wegener, referring to Theology\u2019s old location in K\u00f8bmagergade – rooms, which many theology students were sad to farewell.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo. It\u2019s different here. Not better or worse, but different.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHey. It\u2019s dripping,\u201d says Wegener.<\/p>\n
Small, dark stains spread across the parquet floor. It\u2019s raining outside – and also a little bit within the Knowledge Centre. Uniavisen has previously reported on the problem, which according the the head of the project, was caused by the fact that the automatic skylights were incorrectly programmed so that they opened when it rained and closed when the sun was shining. And it seems that the problem has not been completely fixed.
\n
\n\u201cHas the move brought you closer to the professors?\u201d asks Wegener<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s certainly easier for us to come into contact with the professors here,\u201d says Bolette. \u201cBefore, we almost had to book a meeting to get in contact with them – and wander across the city. I have just finished my bachelor thesis, and it was great to be able to meet a researcher in the hallway.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe were already quite close to them in K\u00f8bmagergade,\u201d says Lucas. \u201cBut it has since become better here.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe physical structure is there,\u201d says Wegener, looking around the large room. \u201cNow we will get the most possible out of it.\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cThe studentes have fallen apart\u201d<\/h2>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s not a lot here, that is positive.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lecturer Benedicte Fonnesbech-Wulff has just shut the door after us and offered a seat to the rector and student council representatives at a little wooden table, where her colleague Sheila Aakeson is already sitting.<\/p>\n
We have stopped at the Institute of Cross Cultural and Regional Studies to hear about the challenges facing the small study program, and are now sitting closely in room 12.3.18, which houses Student Counseling at the Saxo Institute.<\/secret>.<\/p>\n\u201cBut you have a nice environment?\u201d says Wegener.<\/p>\n
\u201cThings aren\u2019t that nice anymore.\u201d
\n
\nFonnesbech-Wulff rolls up her sleeves while she speaks.<\/p>\n
\u201cBefore, there were seven student guidance counsellors, plus me, who worked as a counsellor half the time, and now we are four due to savings. Our work in here is about people. And many of the students who come through the door here, they are falling apart. That\u2019s what the progress reforms have done. We have had a significant increase in giving very serious guidance.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThat is unfortunately not that surprising,\u201d says Wegener. \u201cAt my former workplace, DTU, we called them \u2018drop out reforms.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt has created SO much anxiety, so much insecurity.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cUCPH has a lot of freedom in how we implement the reform. Is it noticeable?\u201d asks Wegener.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo,\u201d says Fonnesbech-Wulff. \u201cWe are on guard. We need to say to the students \u2018today we can advise you this way. But we can\u2019t guarantee that it will be valid tomorrow.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
Wegener wants to know whether students are struggling to manage it all.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur students are bright. But they are finding it tough,\u201d says Fonnesbech-Wulff.<\/p>\n
She explains that for this reason, they have had to adjusted to more severe cases:<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have cut back as much as we can. We know, that we are devaluing. But there are limits to how much we can cut back. The majority of the students that we see for guidance are under pressure. Only a few can manage five years of study without an unforeseen event that holds them back. We see that people who come here have been under pressure for many years. It was shocking to discover how many young people are using antidepressants.\u201d
\n
\n\u201cWe call it a handbook library. Do you know why?\u201d<\/p>\n
Five minutes later, one floor below, history student Ida N\u00f8rskov is chatting to the rector at the entrance to the Saxo Institute\u2019s library.<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause you already have books in your hand?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah. We have a principle that you always will need to look something up. We read highly-specialised material which is only available in few editions, so it has to be available for all.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHypothetically,\u201d says the rector, \u201cIf we consider e-books, how would the library\u2019s future look?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMany studies would be handicapped when it comes to online availability. Take, for example, the course I\u2019m currently taking. Both books on the curriculum are sold out. They can only be found in the library.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cCan new digital editions replace physical ones?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, they can\u2019t. The Royal Library buys access to digital editions, but specialised things don\u2019t come out from the major publishers. There are many sources, which cannot be found digitally. It\u2019s dangerous to bury the idea of books.\u201d
\n
\nBehind the chat, there\u2019s the debate about library closures. The Humanities Faculty must save 60 million kroner, and the institute libraries must find three milion of them: as a solution, libraries can be teamed up and book collections can be moved down to the cellar. In 2016, the latter happened to the library from the Institute for English, German and Romantic languages (ENGEROM). The library had to give up its space, and the book collections are now spread over the Institute\u2019s halls and offices, and down in its cellars.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have full-time librarians here at SAXO, but unfortunately there are cut backs ahead. We must transfer to the Royal Library on July 1, but there is no clear plan as to how this will happen. The employees will either be moved or fired. It\u2019s a horror show. And we will have part-time librarians without specialist knowledge.\u201d<\/p>\n
That things close, that is the horror show. We are very nervous about the changes on the way.<\/p>\n
History student Ida N\u00f8rskov about the future for the Saxi Institute’s library<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Ida stops.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, the real horror show is what happened with the institute library at ENGEROM. When the library was closed overnight, the books ended up in the cellar and common areas and study spaces. That things close, that is the horror show. We are very nervous about the changes on the way. We are very distinctive at all the different libraries. You can\u2019t just have everything collected in one library like they do at CBS. I am afraid that we will be held back, and that the university will be shooting itself in the foot to save three million kroner. And The Royal Library is also under financial pressure.\u201d<\/p>\n
She says that what happened at ENGEROM is awful. That it was a desperate decision.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have respect and sympathy for the people who have to make the decision. It is never easy to make that decision,\u201d says Wegener.
\n
\nAt the Institute for Art and Cultural Studies, the mood eases. It seems music studies student Johan Boje Mortensen is upset by all the writing about the Institute\u2019s Beyonce course. Not about what is being written during the course, which he likes and finds perfectly justified (\u201cwe are studying to be educated in music, after all!\u201d), but the fact that it\u2019s been taken up by the media as an example of the \u201cnonsense\u201d taught and researched at the humanities.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think that the story has had a more positive take than feared,\u201d says Wegener. \u201cErik Steinskog [professor, – ed.] explained his message well and explained why it is important that the university teaches it.\u201d<\/p>\n
He asks Johan what they are doing at IKK to make their contribution to society public – and whether there is something he as rector can do as well.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re taking on that responsibility.\u201d He says he often has to tell people that his studies are far from the enemy of the job market, as the public debate would have it.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe University always has to explain itself to the gawking public,\u201d says Wegener. \u201cWe are so special, or unique, that we must always explain why we are necessary.\u201d
\n
\nWe follow Johan into the IKK students\u2019 bar \/ caf\u00e9 Roland Bar, (did you get the reference? – ed.) where we meet a plastic flamingo <\/secret>(the bar\u2019s mascot) and students Pernille Bille Kj\u00e6r and Rina Nidam M\u00f8ller. The last two help run the place as volunteers.<\/p>\n\u201cThere are many of us, who would not have made it far at university, if we hadn\u2019t had Roland Bar as a gathering spot,\u201d says Bille Kj\u00e6r.<\/p>\n
At this point, Uniavisen needs to leave their company. The rector still has three stops on his tour of S\u00f8ndre Campus. The day after, we ask him what he has taken away from the meeting with the students and employees. He responds by email.<\/p>\n
Hearing about the concerns of the student counsellors at Saxo also left a big impression on me<\/p>\n
Rector Henrik Wegener<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
\u201cI am pleased to see that the physical space pushes the faculties closer together and has created better opportunities to meet researchers. We must, of course, always make an effort the improve the study environment, but S\u00f8ndre Campus has the best conditions. I myself felt the urge to be a student again and have a drink at Roland Bar or Caf\u00e9 Helga.<\/em><\/p>\nHearing about the concerns of the student counsellors at Saxo also left a big impression on me. Some are finding it tough the manage the big requirements and expectations which they are facing today, and we must do our utmost to help them on their way. It was a good experience to take a tour with the students as guides and I\u2019m looking forward to my next campus visit<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\nSince the first tour, Wegener has also met students and employees at Frederiksberg Campus. He will visit N\u00f8rre Campus on October 9 and City Campus (CSS) on October 25.

Once, it was a humanities hub. Then law, theology and the Royal Academy of Library and Information Science moved into the recently-built KUA3 complex at the turn of the year.

Our students complained over a lack of study spaces. But now we have set up a classroom as a study room instead.
