• Scientists want commission to investigate research freedom

    Campaign — Hundreds of researchers have had enough. They want Danish politicians to set up a commission that will investigate the #freedom_of_research. They are now rolling out a nationwide petition.

    Harassment, research theft, and stress. According to a large group of researchers, the state of research freedom in Denmark is now so bad that a commission should be set up to investigate it.

    »This is really serious. It is not just serious for researchers, it is a societal problem,« says PhD student #Maria_Toft, who is one of the initiators behind the new campaign ‘#Set_Research_Free’.

    As part of the campaign, researchers have set up a #petition or ‘charter of liberties’ that is to capture Danish politicians’ attention. They have received more than 500 signatures so far from scientists and PhD students across the country.

    Behind the petition is an initiative group with a number of leading researchers from all over the country. From the University of Copenhagen it is Professor Emeritus from the Department of Sociology Heine Andersen, Associate Professor from the Department of Cross-Cultural and Regional Studies Brian Arly Jacobsen, as well as Professor Ole Wæver and PhD student Maria Toft — both from the Department of Political Science. For them, it has a clear and concise message: Research freedom in Denmark is under some serious pressure.

    »We need to face up to the rotten apples. Both within ourselves and in the settings that we are a part of. It is in the world of research that the ideas for the big changes that we need are fostered, and we cannot exploit this potential if everyone is anxious and frightened. As it is now, the system is based on mistrust,« says Maria Toft, who at the beginning of 2022 set off the #pleasedontstealmywork campaign on research theft at Danish universities.

    Criticism has been a long time coming

    The petition is the culmination of many years of intense criticism of deteriorating research conditions, and stories of harassment, research theft and stress among researchers.

    The researchers reckon that a commission should scrutinise three areas, according to the petition:

    1) An evaluation and revision of the Danish University Act

    2) More basic funding for free research and more permanent appointments

    3) A general review of the incentive structures and funding of research

    Heine Andersen published the book ‘Freedom of Research – Ideal and Reality’ back in 2017. It criticised non-disclosure agreements and the increasing influence of lobbyists on Danish research.

    In October last year, the Danish University Act was attacked in a white paper sent out by the Research Policy Committee at the Royal Danish Academy of Sciences and Letters. The chairman of the committee, Professor of Political Science Ole Wæver, said then that Danish research will suffer irreparable damage if politicians do not stop the »extreme top-down management« of universities that had been set up with the revised Danish University Act of 2003.

    More recently, the #pleasedontstealmywork campaign focused on the research theft that takes place at Danish universities when, for example, older researchers take credit for the work carried out by younger colleagues such as PhD students. At the same time, the debate over freedom of research has been taken up by the Danish parliament, where a number of right-wing politicians have held hearings about the state of academic freedoms.
    Layoff anxiety and culture of secrecy

    The first item on the list of researchers’ demands is a revision of the Danish University Act, which has been heavily debated since it was revised in 2003. The purpose of the 2003 revision was to ensure that universities were to a greater extent governed by a market logic.

    But according to the researchers behind the petition, the Danish University Act has failed miserably. It has led to a top-down management structure which, according to Heine Andersen, has taken on the shape of a protected institution, albeit with no supervision over hiring, layoffs, staff conditions and organisation:

    »I’m not afraid to say that there is more arrogance in management today. It is an entirely foreseeable consequence of the Danish University Act that there is far greater distance between management and staff. And management surrounds itself increasingly with sycophants, so they are hardly ever confronted with the many problems that researchers face.«

    This also means that Danish universities are characterised by unprecedented secrecy, and by staff anxiety over layoffs, where many employees do not dare to express criticism of management, the two researchers say. This is also stated in a so-called charter of liberties that has been circulated among the country’s researchers and PhD students.

    »Even among reputable scientists, there is layoff anxiety, and for good reason, due to several rounds of layoffs. And then you sit back and think ‘why did he and she get fired’, and then you remember that the person was critical of the management. It doesn’t have to be true, but just the fact that you think this means that you are cautious about going against management decisions,« says Heine Andersen.

    Maria Toft adds that the culture quickly turns into a vicious circle that also helps cover up offensive behaviour and harassment:

    »The culture of secrecy is self-perpetuating. This means that different types of offensive behaviours can develop, because you dare not stand up for each other and express criticism. This is a vicious circle,« she says.
    Right-wing politicians threaten research freedoms themselves

    Even though the criticism from researchers is, in particular, focussed on the Danish University Act which is nearly twenty years old, it strikes deep at the heart of a politically-charged debate over the freedom of research. A debate that has been led by some completely different players.

    Most recently, right-wing politicians like Henrik Dahl (LA) and Morten Messerschmidt (DF) have called for hearings in the Danish parliament on the freedom of research and called on MPs to write in the Chicago principles in the Danish University Act. They say that research freedoms are under pressure from activist »pseudo-research« at universities and cancel culture, which in particular have their origin in research on topics like gender, race, ethnicity and migration.

    On the other side of this debate are researchers who believe that it is precisely politicians like Henrik Dahl and Morten Messerschmidt that are the threat to research freedoms as they undermine the arm’s length principle. This criticism is also in the petition, which refers to the fact that researchers are increasingly being exposed to harassment and threats.

    Heine Andersen believes that the criticism from right-wing politicians is unfair and problematic. This can be seen in statements about researchers like the Professor of Islamic Studies Jakob Skovgaard-Petersen from the University of Copenhagen. He was criticised in one of the above-mentioned parliamentary hearings for being and activist and a threat to free research:

    »It is a problem when politicians propose measures to intervene against research based on their political standpoints. When Henrik Dahl says that Jakob Skovgaard-Petersen is biased from the parliamentary rostrum, then it’s cloud-cuckoo-land – and it is dangerous. It emerged that Dahl had not read any of Skovgaard-Petersen’s extensive work. It gets worse when Morten Messerschmidt urges the minister to intervene into specific research fields without any academic basis,« says Heine Andersen.
    Pressure from lobbyists

    In addition to a top-down management structure, the Danish University Act has made universities highly competition-focussed. This is according to Heine Andersen and Maria Toft. Researchers use a significant part of their time fighting for external research funding to finance their projects. This means that independent research is increasingly being replaced by commissioned work from foundations and organisations. In this way, political and commercial interests are increasingly creeping into research, according to Heine Andersen and Maria Toft.

    The researchers in the petition therefore encourage politicians to allocate more basic funding to free research, and more permanent positions at universities where temporary appointments and precarious working conditions have become the norm for many researchers. According to Heine Andersen, the layoff anxiety and the culture of secrecy also stem from this:

    »Some of the mistrust arises from the fact that there is fierce competition internally between researchers, and one of the things you are competing for is grants. Universities compete for these also. This is tough. Politicians could relieve this political pressure by setting up systems that did not lead to competition between universities and between researchers.«

    But why is there even a need for more free research? The purpose of the Danish University Act of 2003 was to make research more market-oriented and competition-based, so that it better matched up with ‘reality’ and the requirements of politicians and business.

    According to the researchers behind the petition, research freedoms in Denmark are in such a poor state that society is missing out on ground-breaking and innovative ideas and analyses. At the same time, skilled researchers are leaving the system because of its »brutality«, and in this way draining the pool of talent, according to Maria Toft:

    »It’s so important that researchers have the freedom to ask the right questions, and not just deliver the right answers. We have to take a step back and ask ourselves what the purpose of research and the university actually is. We have climate crises, war and probably also soon an economic crisis, and we simply do not have time to not create change and to keep on asking the questions that we already know the answers to. This is what we are doing today under this system, because it has become too risky to ask questions that you really do not know the answers to. But we have to do this.«

      SOLIDARITY WITH ROBERTO MOZZACHIODI

      After years of unparalleled academic and political work at Goldsmiths, our colleague, friend, teacher, caseworker, union branch co-Secretary #Roberto_Mozzachiodi has been put through an unfair employment process, and as a result no longer holds a substantive teaching position at the College. Roberto’s case reflects the working conditions of hundreds of staff at Goldsmiths, and thousands of staff employed on precarious, fixed-term, temporary contracts across British Higher Education. It also reflects the risks that come with openly committing to collective, ground-up solidarity that challenges the principles of how university work is organised, and reimagines union work accordingly.

      Roberto has been a leading figure in the fight against casualisation at Goldsmiths, and has been at the heart of campaigns that have radically transformed our place of work and study. He was core in the Goldsmiths #Justice_for_Cleaners and Goldsmiths #Justice_for_Workers movements that brought cleaning and security staff in-house, and core in the fight to extend basic rights to casualised workers at Goldsmiths at the height of the pandemic. He has supported countless staff and students through the grinding labour of union casework, and has worked tirelessly on strengthening and transforming the Goldsmiths branch of UCU through a radical commitment to anti-casualisation, anti-racism, and anti-factionalism, often fighting and organising for the rights of others in far more secure positions.

      Roberto’s specific case mirrors that of thousands across the country employed on temporary, fixed-term, and casualised contracts. Roberto was denied his redundancy-related employment rights when his contract came to an end. This involved, amongst other things, not being consulted on suitable alternative employment, including a permanent position very similar to the role he had been performing on a fixed-term basis over three terms. This amounts to a denial of casualised workers’ employment rights, and is something that is commonplace at Goldsmiths, and across the sector.

      As signatories of this letter, we call on Goldsmiths to act on the unjust treatment of Roberto. We also urge all at Goldsmiths and beyond to actively resist and challenge the endemic nature of precarious work in university life - at all times and at all scales, as Roberto has always done.

      Unterstütze #Heike_Egner für Grundrechte von Profs

      https://youtu.be/6w-deHpsmr4

      Ich sammle Spenden für eine juristische Klärung, die zwar meine Person betrifft, jedoch weitreichende Bedeutung für Professorinnen und Professoren im deutschsprachigen Wissenschaftsbereich hat. Die Entlassung einer Professorin oder eines Professors aus einer (unbefristeten) Professur galt bis vor kurzem noch als undenkbar. Mittlerweile ist das nicht nur möglich, sondern nimmt rasant zu.

      Der Sachverhalt: Ich wurde 2018 als Universitätsprofessorin fristlos entlassen. Für mich kam das aus heiterem Himmel, da es keinerlei Vorwarnung gab. Erst vor Gericht habe ich die Gründe dafür erfahren. Der Vorwurf lautet, ich hätte Mobbing und psychische Gewalt gegen wissenschaftliche Nachwuchskräfte und andere Mitarbeiter ausgeübt. Vor Gericht zeigte sich, dass die Vorwürfe durchwegs auf von mir vorgenommene Leistungsbewertungen basieren, die von den Betreffenden als ungerecht empfunden wurden. Die Bewertung von Leistungen von Studierenden und Nachwuchswissenschaftlern gehört zu den Dienstaufgaben einer Universitätsprofessorin, ebenso wie die Evaluierung von Leistungen der Mitarbeiter jenseits der Qualifikationserfordernisse zu den Dienstaufgaben einer Institutsvorständin an einer Universität gehört.

      Mittlerweile liegt der Fall beim Obersten Gerichtshof in Österreich. Ich habe eine „außerordentliche Revision“ eingereicht, da ich der Meinung bin, dass die Art meiner Entlassung von grundlegender Bedeutung für die Arbeitsbedingungen von Professoren an Universitäten ist. Unter anderem ist folgendes zu klären:

      Darf eine Universitätsprofessorin oder ein Universitätsprofessor aufgrund von anonym vorgetragenen Vorwürfen entlassen werden?
      Darf eine Universitätsprofessorin oder ein Universitätsprofessor aufgrund von ihr oder ihm durchgeführten negativen Leistungsbewertungen entlassen werden?

      Sollte die Berufungsentscheidung rechtskräftig bleiben, ist damit legitimiert, dass eine Professorin oder ein Professor aufgrund von freihändig formulierten und anonym vorgetragenen Behauptungen jederzeit entlassen werden kann. Dies entspricht einer willkürlichen Entlassung und öffnet Missbrauch Tür und Tor, da es Universitäten ermöglicht, sich jederzeit ihrer Professoren zu entledigen. Eine Universität ist aufgrund ihrer Struktur und ihres Auftrags eine grundsätzlich spannungsgeladene Organisation; hier lassen sich jederzeit unzufriedene Studenten, Nachwuchskräfte oder Mitarbeiter finden, die eine Beschwerde äußern. Die Möglichkeit willkürlicher Entlassung steht nicht nur in Konflikt mit den Formulierungen und der Zielsetzung des Arbeitnehmerschutzes, sondern auch mit der in der Verfassung verankerten Freiheit von Wissenschaft, Forschung und Lehre.

      Wofür bitte ich um Unterstützung?
      Es ist ein ungleicher Kampf, da die Universität Steuergelder in unbegrenzter Höhe zur Verfügung hat und ich – ohne Rechtsschutzversicherung – das volle Risiko des Rechtsstreits persönlich trage. Die bisherigen Kosten des Verfahrens belaufen sich auf etwa 120.000 € (eigene Anwaltskosten und Anwaltskosten der Gegenseite). Damit sind meine Ersparnisse weitgehend aufgebraucht.

      Mein Spendenziel beträgt 80.000 €.
      Dies umfasst die etwa 60.000 € Anwaltskosten der Gegenseite, die ich aufgrund des Urteils in zweiter Instanz zu tragen habe. Die weiteren 20.000 € fließen in die Forschung über die Entlassung von Professorinnen und Professoren, die ich seit 2020 mit einer Kollegin aus privaten Mitteln betreibe.

    • #Susanne_Täuber, Netherlands

      Reinstate #Susanne_Täuber, protect social safety and academic freedom at the RUG

      10 March 2023

      To prof. Jouke de Vries, President, and members of the Board of the University of Groningen,

      We, the undersigned employees and students of the University of Groningen (UG), joined by concerned observers and colleagues at institutions around the world, are appalled at the firing of Dr. Susanne Täuber. The facts of this case are clear: Dr. Täuber was punished for exerting her academic freedom. The same court that allowed the UG to fire her also made it clear that it was the university’s negative reaction to an essay about her experiences of gender discrimination at the university that “seriously disturbed” their work relationship. Alarming details have also been made public about how the university pressured Dr. Täuber to censor future publications, in order to retain her position.

      The protest in front of the Academy Building on 8 March, International Women’s Day, and the continuing press attention and social media outcry, demonstrate that this case has consequences far beyond one university. Firing a scholar who publishes work that is critical of powerful institutions, including the university itself, sets a disturbing precedent for us all. We, the employees and students, ARE the UG, and we refuse to let this act be carried out in our names. We call on the University Board to reinstate Dr. Täuber, without delay, as an associate professor, and to ensure that she is provided with a safe working environment.

      The firing of Dr. Täuber has surfaced structural problems that necessitate immediate action by the University Board and all UG faculties. It is unacceptable that when a “disrupted employment relationship” emerges within a department, the more vulnerable person is fired. This points to a broader pattern at Dutch universities, as evidenced by the YAG Report (2021), the LNVH Report (2019), and other recent cases: in cases of transgressive behavior, Full Professors, Principal Investigators (PIs), and managers are protected, while employees of lower rank, or students, bear the consequences. If we are to continue performing our education and research mission, then this practice must be reformed, and the University of Groningen has an opportunity to lead here. We call on the University Board to work with labor unions, the LNVH, the University Council, and Faculty Councils to design and implement a safe, independent procedure for addressing violations of social safety: one that prioritizes the protection and support of vulnerable parties.

      Internal reforms will help ensure the safety of students and employees, but they will not repair the damage these events have caused to the reputation of the University of Groningen. The termination of a scholar who publishes field-leading research that is critical of academia has triggered doubts among employees, students, and the public about the UG’s commitment to academic freedom. This action is already raising concerns from talented job candidates, and we fear a chilling effect on critical research at the UG and beyond. We call on the University of Groningen, in partnership with the Universities of the Netherlands (UNL), the Ministry of Education, and the labor unions, to enshrine protections for academic freedom in the Collective Labor Agreement.

      Reinstate Dr. Täuber, reform complaint procedures, and establish binding protections for academic freedom. The relationship between the University of Groningen and the people it employs, teaches, and serves has been severely disrupted in the past weeks, but that relationship can be repaired if the Board begins taking these actions today.

      Sincerely,

    https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/17/world/europe/denmark-schools-coronavirus.html

    Des enfants heureux de retrouver leurs camarades :

    “It is so nice to see my best friend again!” said Maja Petersen, a 7-year-old first grader coloring the red bits of the Danish flag.

    “He’s happy to be back,” she said. “We’re happy he’s back.”

    Mise en garde de l’OMS vs santé économique :

    The World Health Organization has cautioned countries like Denmark against reopening their societies too quickly for fear of reviving the pandemic before it is properly stamped out

    Elsewhere in Denmark, these concerns led some parents to create Facebook groups protesting the reopening of schools, fearing their children were being sacrificed to save the Danish economy.

    Sur la réorganisations des écoles :

    To stop the spread of infection, parents weren’t allowed inside. Teachers couldn’t gather in the staff room. The children each now had their own desks, marooned two yards away from their nearest neighbor. During recess, they could play only in small groups. And by the time the school shut again at 2 p.m., they had all washed their hands at least once an hour for the past six hours.

    The school’s floors have been covered with new markings, showing pupils how far apart they have to stand. Hand-washing has become a part of the school routine

    These changes have been guided by the government, but the government’s instructions have sometimes changed on an hourly basis. “Sometimes, we get an order at 9, and then at 10 we get a new one,” said Mr. Christensen, the deputy head.

    Des plus petits groupes d’enfants, qui vivent en silo :

    Those teachers now work with only one small group throughout the day, rather than several bigger ones, and their students play only with children from their own class.

    The increase in the number of classes means teachers have more to do and fewer assistants to help them do it. If they need a brief break, they can call on a small three-person team to mind their classrooms for a few minutes. But they can no longer rely on a teaching assistant to shoulder their burden for longer periods, since the assistants are often now teaching their own classes.

    … et puis on passera aux dents en or et aux cheveux…

    Le 10 décembre, le gouvernement danois a introduit une proposition de loi autorisant la confiscation de l’argent liquide et des bijoux transportés par les réfugiés arrivant dans le pays. Selon le Washington Post, la loi devrait être bientôt votée au parlement.

    Dans un e-mail au quotidien américain, le ministre de l’Intégration danois explique que la loi donnera aux autorités « le pouvoir de fouiller les vêtements et les bagages des demandeurs d’asile –et des autres migrants qui n’ont pas de permis pour s’installer au Danemark– dans l’objectif de trouver des biens qui permettraient de couvrir leurs frais. »

  • #Denmark Is Considered The Happiest Country. You’ll Never Guess Why.
    http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/10/22/denmark-happiest-country_n_4070761.html

    While American women scrape by with an average maternal leave of 10.3 weeks, Danish families receive a total of 52 weeks of parental leave. Mothers are able to take 18 weeks and fathers receive their own dedicated 2 weeks at up to 100 percent salary. The rest of the paid time off is up to the family to use as they see fit.

    But the support doesn’t stop at the end of this time. Danish children have access to free or low-cost child care. And early childhood education is associated with health and well-being throughout life for its recipients — as well as for mothers. What’s more, this frees up young mothers to return to the work force if they’d like to. The result? In Denmark, 79 percent of mothers return to their previous level of employment, compared to 59 percent of American women. These resources mean that women contribute 34 to 38 percent of income in Danish households with children, compared to American women, who contribute 28 percent of income.
