Regarding today’s articles calling for the dismissal of teachers from their teaching assignments.

Uppsala union of engineering and science students does not wish to comment on the subjects brought up in today’s articles, but believe it is irresponsible to suspend university staff from their teaching assignments without a specified plan for managing the continued course structure.

Disputes within the faculty must not affect the quality of education provided to our students. The union management has expressed the importance of the students' interest in a written letter to the university management (the full letter in Swedish can be found in the document archives under Studiebevakning).

Questions are referred to the Deputy Dean of Education, Cecilia Johansson (cecilia.johansson [at] met.uu.se), or chairperson of the Educational Board of Engineering, Greger Thornell (greger.thornell [at] angstrom.uu.se). You can also contact our Student Liaison Officers at bevakare [at] utn.se.
