News from the Stuve

Department for Teaching and Studies

The discussion about the abolition of attempt counting for examinations and the abolition of compulsory registration is still very much on our minds, and we expect a decision to be made soon by the university-wide committees. We are still trying to convince the members of our arguments, some of which can be found in the position paper of the Student Convention.
The idea has also been discussed in some faculties in recent months. However, it remains to be seen whether the debate here will swing in a different direction from the university-wide debate.

In addition to this main topic, we are continuing to provide feedback and suggestions for improvements to CAMPO performance. A second workshop between students and those responsible is to take place soon, where we will present our (sometimes really urgent) improvements.

At a unit meeting scheduled for the end of January, we want to focus more on the university’s accreditation reports and find a form of regular meeting dates. If you are interested in participating, please contact us at stuve-lust@fau.de.

Speakers’ Council

As you can see from the email, Leon Bernath left the Spokesperson’s Council on 01.01 and resigned from the office of Deputy Convention Chairperson. His successor is Alina Abel, who has been a member of the Council since the beginning of the term of office.

University group feedback

In December, we carried out the feedback of the supporting university groups for the first time according to the new and significantly more extensive rules adopted in the summer semester. Reviewing the results still takes an enormous amount of time and requires detailed handling as well as a lot of communication with those also responsible on a voluntary basis. Some groups are part of the next Convention meetings, while we are still in contact with others.

Survey on mobility behavior

An FAU-wide survey on mobility behavior will run until 22.12.2023. The Green Office would like to know: What means of transportation do you use to get to FAU and between FAU locations? How long does it take you to get there? What is going well and what should be improved?

You can find the link to the survey in an email from the Green Office dated December 5. The 10-minute survey is, of course, voluntary and anonymous. No conclusions will be drawn about individual persons at any time.

The more people who take part in the survey, the more meaningful the results will be, which will serve as the basis for a catalog of measures for the further development of mobility services and the framework conditions at FAU. In addition, this catalog of measures is intended to make a further contribution to climate protection at FAU and for each individual. Further information can be found on the Green Office’s mobility concept website, including information on data protection.
Everyone can easily contribute to improving mobility management at FAU!
