When it comes to the protest of the University we always end up talking about" cuts ".
Some believe that an invention, that there have been and there will be, which in essence will always work as usual, while others believe the existence of the cuts, but come to justify them, thinking that that is to eliminate unnecessary expenditures.
We asked around what is, in fact, the situation in some departments of Foreign Languages to have a general idea the situation of our faculty.
The biggest problems come from the block of turn-over: in Italy where youth unemployment is at levels of concern in the academic world - and the will of the Gelmini Tremonti - there is only one every five retirement employment. One every five.
Regarding the Department of Italian studies, the situation is not as dramatic as that of other industries, but it's only a matter of time. This year, a researcher retires (from 1st November), and perhaps (but only if all goes well) there will be a competition, already banned for over a year.
Then, we will (Including Literature and Foreign Languages) to another three or four retirements without turn over within two or three years.
In absolute numbers, the Department will reduce about 20% of the teaching force in the coming years, causing problems strong, perhaps more 'to Letters to that language, but still sensitive.
Teachers of Italian Studies who will insist on Languages, for next year, six and this will be enough to cover different needs. But this is only a transitional phase ...
greatest difficulties are found in the Department of Linguistics, which brings together under him also Russian and German (German but we will discuss below). Here are
teachers to substitute for retirement and, unfortunately, two cases of death. There are no assumptions.
part of the specialist in linguistics, which has teachers in common with the Triennale, some teachers accepted for the time of overdoing it to cover the educational needs and not leave gaps in essential disciplines. This regime can not be maintained for long.
One of the teachers of the department stresses that there should be at least two professors, on examination, it is not, for numerical reasons, then slip in this area illegally.
The situation seems to be more worrying for the department of German.
German Language and Literature at risk of disappearing, as when the Faculty has two language teachers German and one professor of literature. There are researchers and teachers have to deal not only teaching but also of the administration (a task that should not affect them) and the maintenance of the department (other tasks that do not affect them).
With the block in turnover, also was forced to choose between hiring new teachers or new technical directors. As if the roles were interchangeable!
Turning to French, for what it regards language is provided for the retirement of a professor for March 2011. There is a researcher of French Language in the Faculty of Foreign Languages \u200b\u200band Literatures and, for the moment, are not expected in this recruitment.
Literature in the teaching of two professors will retire in November, compared with Hispanic and Germanic languages, however, French manages to survive, but only because the two researchers to carry out teaching French Literature.
And speaking of teaching, within a few years, three French-speaking players are gone and have not been replaced.
and libraries?
Library of Linguistics, despite the waste has already been cut, does not have funds to purchase new books and there are no major economic difficulties that do not allow subscriptions to magazines. Lack of funds has come to the point that if, for example, a computer should be damaged, would not be able to repair it or replace it.
no little problems is that of the staff: the cooperatives are no longer providing their support and this means that there are limitations in the opening and closing both of which Anglistics Linguistics. The remaining staff, in fact, must alternate and work more hours than planned.
As for the turn over, then, there have been three retirements and one part-time employment.
As for the French section, there is no money to buy new books have been discontinued subscriptions to magazines and books moltre examination programs are purchased with research funds of teachers. For lack
staffing, hours of opening to the public had to be limited: the library of the French is always closed in the afternoon.
We are confident that the Reform Gelmini go towards the promotion of merit and fight the barons?
