What is known as
"agitation" by researchers is a disorder caused by the University
Reform, which was continuing its passage through Parliament until the halt by
Minister of Economy and Finance Tremonti. I haven’t the intention of making an
apology to the Gelmini decree and not to move against it criticism. I will
remain neutral, but eager to tell how much discomfort is felt by the students
as the teachers abstention by teaching is concerning them as if they were
accomplices of the Decree.
It started the
2010-2011 academic year in the Faculty of Education of Bari and a few weeks
before had been published the schedule of lessons with a surprise: in many
courses are completely or partially absent the names of professors which would
have given lessons. All this not comes from a typing mistake, but is the
greatest effect of researchers agitation. Consequently, subjects whose exams
are for the first half slip to the second half of semester without a specific
day. No lessons, no programs, no books, no tests/exams, farewell be in order,
where is the right to study guaranteed by article 34 of the Italian
Constitution?
The students are
trying to develop strategies, searching for the lawfulness of course, in order
to implement an exchange of lessons learned and thus save the semester, but the
time is despotic towards them because November is started; the semester ends in
January and requires a precise number of days to devote to lesson hours.
Freshman and preparing
for a degree continue to cultivate their hopes and dreams for their future, but
not all are so phlegmatic. From the rank of the revolutionaries was raised a
"voice" and it is possible that is "white": there is a
module called “renunciation of the studies”; if it was duly completed and
delivered by the students, by now sick and tired of the lack of interest shown
towards them, it would the death certificate of many courses.
