News from the Stuve

06/2024

Everything from committees & working groups of the Stuve to FSIs & university groups

Editors: Christian Peppel, Büşra Başol

The university elections were over as quickly as they came. Thank you very much for supporting our work with your vote. You can find the results of the election below in an overview again, which is keeping the big Stuve summer party overview in this email company. If you didn't stand as a candidate this year but would still like to get involved, why not drop by the next meeting of the FSI of your degree program or go through the list of university-wide committees of the student representation where there are many interesting topics in which you can make a difference.

News that you have probably already heard yourselves concerns the StUB. To put it simply: It's coming! We think this is a great decision for the future of Erlangen and would like to thank our mobility department as well as everyone else who has contributed to this success with their commitment.

In recent months, representatives of the Doctoral Council have also made efforts to network more closely with the university-wide student body; one of the first joint activities resulting from this was the campaign for the university elections. We hope to work even better with the doctoral students at various levels in the future.

Inventory query of student groups

Who doesn't know the problem: as an FSI or HSG, you would like to organize an event, but equipment for barbecues, mulled wine, etc. is expensive and bulky to store. Fortunately, most faculties already have some inventory, but how do you know who has what you need? That's why we've created a shared inventory list where you can search for loanable equipment and see directly who manages it.

To make this list even better, however, we need your assistance. If you are part of a group at the FAU that has inventory to lend, please write an email to stuve-sekretariat@fau.de, so that our shared list continues to grow.

University election results

Last week you were all able to cast your vote for the student representatives in the Student Council and the student representatives of your faculty. Here you can find an overview of the distribution of seats in the committees for the term starting on October 1, 2024. You can find detailed results here.

Semester meeting with the University Executive Board

The members of the Speakers' Council meet with the members of the university management once a semester to discuss current problems directly and in an uncomplicated manner. We would like to tell you which topics were discussed this time.

(New) funding opportunities for good teaching

With the loss of QuiS II funding from the Bavarian government, many useful projects in the student advisory service and elsewhere could not be continued. Unfortunately, it was also not possible for the university itself to take over the funding. In response to our inquiry as to whether it is foreseeable that there could be a similar continuation of funding in Bavaria as has been successful in other federal states, we were unfortunately disappointed.

Compensation for work in university self-administration

For several semesters now, we have been campaigning for student participation in FAU's administrative bodies to be better valued and remunerated. Initial ideas, such as official certificates for elected members of student representatives, have been well received by students, but our demands go beyond this. The fact that we have to carry out the mandatory work in the university administration on various committees, appointment committees, and study program committees in our free time should not be the standard. Added to this is the incomparably greater effort required to prepare such meetings.

Here we can at least very cautiously report a small success. The university management will meet with us for a follow-up discussion on this topic in order to pursue it further outside of the semester meeting cycle. We students perform an important, irreplaceable bridging function in many areas of the university, which must finally be duly acknowledged.

Reorganization of the distribution of the remaining funds for study grants

At the university level, the unused remaining funds are currently allocated by the university management. We do not consider the mechanism integrated into the Central Committee for Study Grants, in which measures are prioritized by us, to be sufficient. Students should be involved in the distribution of unclaimed remaining funds and be allowed to decide for themselves how to allocate their funds depending on the situation. Unfortunately, we were not able to get our way on the first attempt, but we will continue to press ahead with the issue.
