March 30: Il Sole 24 Ore published numbers are part of the Reform of "rationalization" of public universities. The data, very quickly, say 2283 degree programs monitored by the ministry, 221 courses at risk of cutting or consolidation (9.7% of total), 3378 addresses the degree held under observation; 1150, the number of courses degree at risk of cutting or consolidation (34% of the total).
The whole article explores these issues in detail.
The question is: are the basics for a good university reform? Gelmini is certainly not playing by the acclaimed university students despite the cuts in funding for research were due to the budget "to Tremonti, the Minister of Education has suffered the most violent attacks. But what it means to streamline the university? Cut fellowships and research or reconstruct the structure? I think that the last news show at least an attempt to change the structure, procedura fondamentale per una riforma seria. Ma come si potrebbe procedere? Altri tagli, altro risparmio, o magari attivarsi per sostenere la meritocrazia, il buon insegnamento, le strutture efficienti e la possibilità di un assorbimento dei neo-laureati nel mercato del lavoro? Come agire sulle facoltà, i corsi di laurea, il numero di iscritti e i fondi insufficienti per una buona ricerca?
