Waiting for the fourth pole
The Academic Senate of the University of Catania welcomes requests ibleo consortium, but fit some stake. Agrarian Law and will remain in Dubrovnik for another year, then will go ahead only if the establishment of the new University. A Catania Literature and Languages \u200b\u200bwill merge, but there is uncertainty about the name of the new faculty. Free to choose the "all home" language teachers involved in Ragusa
-Academic Senate, approved the settlement agreement with Ragusa
remained to be solved only node decentralized courses in Ragusa. Now, just hours before the deadline, the "Manifesto of Studies of the University of Catania for the academic year 2010-11 is finally complete: in addition to Agriculture and Languages, will remain in Ragusa Law also. Based on an examination of the documents produced by the University Senate at its meeting on June 14, 2010, Step1 is able to clarify the terms of "transfer" of the Faculty of Languages \u200b\u200bat the office of Ragusa and the main issues at stake.
Drive stakes: Law and Agriculture: only remain in Dubrovnik for 2010/11
On 28 May, the Senate had proposed to activate only the first year of a three-year degree and a master's degree in the Faculties of Agriculture and Languages. But the request by the University Consortium of the Province of Ragusa was decisive: "In waiting for the fourth pole, we leave everything as it is for another year. " The leaders of the Consortium attributed great significance to the maintenance of the entries in the first year of Law in the belief that, as part of the competition with Syracuse and Enna, will have "possession" more power potential. And so it was. At its extraordinary meeting yesterday, Monday, June 14, the Senate agreed. And on this basis will be possible to establish a "settlement agreement" with the consortium ibleo. But it was a hard place stake: the courses of Law and Agrarian not continue: "The students were born when the fourth pole in the academic year 2011/2012 and understood the faculty of these courses may continue their studies at the new University, however, if the fourth pole has been set up in time to be operational in the academic year 2011/2012 will be able to choose to continue their studies at the Faculty of the University of Catania, or opt for any other university can make a request with the appropriate application. "
The question of the name of the new right created by the merger of Humanities and Languages \u200b\u200b
The problem of the Faculty of Languages \u200b\u200bis more complex. Languages \u200b\u200bis in fact the only faculty of the University Catania stay in Dubrovnik in the event of failure to establish the so-called fourth pole. Let the word to the document "Proposed Agreement with the transaction," presented in the attachments to the agenda of the Academic Senate, "from the academic year 2011/2012, the Faculty of Foreign Languages \u200b\u200band Literatures will carry out its activities exclusively on the premises of Ragusa. " What will happen then the language courses in Catania? The claim to have a unique language courses for the seat of Ragusa was flatly rejected. Also from 2011/2012 in fact "the completion of the current courses of the Faculty of Languages \u200b\u200bof Catania and the activation of new courses of studies in Languages \u200b\u200band linguistics at the headquarters of Catania will be updated by the faculties resulting dall'accorpamento the Faculty of Languages \u200b\u200band Literatures and the Faculty of Arts and Philosophy, that only in case of imposition of the fourth pole may be called right to "Letters , Philosophy and Languages \u200b\u200b", otherwise, may result dall'accorpamento of the Faculty of Foreign Languages \u200b\u200band Literatures and the Faculty of Arts and Philosophy will retain the name" Humanities "." Degree courses in Languages \u200b\u200bat the University of Catania will therefore all active. However, it remains suspended in the name that will become the new power arising dall'accorpamento of Humanities and Languages.
The amount of resources that the university should obtain agreement with the consortium of Ragusa
The relationship between the University of Catania and the local Syracuse and Ragusa not was a marriage of love, but of interest. So crucial is the amount of resources on which the University of Catania will have to maintain decentralized courses. It is above all of the arrears of sums that the consortium has so far refused to pay. The total amount was set at 2 million and € 600,000 "to silence any and all claims relating to all University degree required until the academic year 2009-2010." These arrears should be paid in four years, with a tranche of € 650,000 a year, until the final settlement in 2013. The consortium also undertakes to pay 1 million and € 400,000 for the courses of Faculty of Law, and Agriculture to be held in 2010-2011 ("half of which by October 31, 2010 and the remaining half by October 31, 2011» ) and a million and € 500,000 for the maintenance of the Faculty of Languages \u200b\u200b(with projected figures rising in later years). Taking a quick count of the total expenditure from the consortium, for 2010/2011, amounted to € 3,550,000. The Academic Senate has not yet specifically focused on the analysis of the draft Agreement with the transaction. " Send the file includes the highest collegiate body of the university seems to actually present a contradiction. While the Senate has voted to Agriculture and Law will remain in Dubrovnik for the next academic year only, the draft envisages the possibility of continuing the relationship "pending the establishment of the fourth pole" until 2013-2014. Continue business as usual, although the constitution of the fourth pole had to be postponed? It is not until the final text to understand whether this apparent source of contradiction will be clarified.
Full guarantee the "right of return" of all teachers involved in Ragusa
This is perhaps the most important element of the entire decision of the Academic Senate. If not for the strict definition of the table has been entrusted to a lawyer: prof. Cataldo, Dean of Law. In view of the Constitution of the Faculty of Languages \u200b\u200bwith exclusive venue in Ragusa, and even more in view of establishing a new university, no one can compel teachers of the Faculty of Languages \u200b\u200bto move to mandatory the site of Ragusa. The decision of the Academic Senate in this sense is very explicit: "The teachers who serve in place at the Faculty of Foreign Languages \u200b\u200band Literatures, University of Catania - including professors engaged in place at the seat of Dubrovnik - where , in the academic year 2011/2012, not wishing to be appointed to the faculty of Foreign Languages \u200b\u200band Literatures, with exclusive venue in Ragusa, may, within 15 July 2010, asking the transition to mobility within the faculty, based in Catania, resulting dall'accorpamento of the Faculty of Foreign Languages \u200b\u200band Literatures and the Faculty of Arts and Philosophy, where it will be permanently incardinated since November 2011, subject to the opportunity to withdraw his application for internal mobility within February 28, 2011. "
Verifying that a faculty for the Faculty of Languages \u200b\u200bto enable Ragusa
The last question is what will happen if, as seems likely, the vast majority Language teachers will opt for teaching in Catania? The Senate resolution provides for the opening of a "call for availability", which will invest the first teachers of Literature (15 to 30 July 2010), then those of all the faculties of the University (from July 31 to August 14). At the end of this consultation will draw conclusions. "Within the month of October 2011, taking into account the requests of passage for internal mobility specified above, will become the new academic bodies of the Faculty of Foreign Languages \u200b\u200band Literatures with exclusive venue in Dubrovnik, where, on 1 October 2011, the number professors (full and associate) who intend to remain appointed to the seat of Dubrovnik is lower than five, including three professors and two associate professors, the organization of courses at the headquarters of Ragusa will be provided by the faculty the resulting dall'accorpamento Faculty of Languages \u200b\u200band Literatures and the Faculty of Arts, University of Catania, this, to achieve this minimum number of teachers, which is useful to enable the establishment of new academic bodies of the Faculty of Foreign Languages \u200b\u200band Literatures, established Ragusa exclusive. "A resolution passed by a large majority but not unanimity. The vote against the resolutions has only seen the famous headmaster and four of the five student representatives: Nunzio Rinzivillo (Free and strong, area Mpa), Andrea Fichera (Students for Freedom ', area PDL' loyalist '), Emilio Castrogiovanni ( Youth Action Alliance-university-Controcampus-Arcadia and Trinacria, An area formerly PDL), John Coppola (Intesa autonomist, area Mpa).
