Student representatives at Humboldt University in Germany support disciplinary complaint against president, demand action against Professor Baberowski The disciplinary complaint of the International Youth and Students for Social Equality (IYSSE) against Humboldt University (HU) President Sabine Kunst is finding broad support.
In recent weeks, student councils at HU and the Technical University of Berlin, which together represent more than 75,000 students, have shown solidarity with the complaint. Student representatives outside of Berlin, including the AStA (General Student Council) of the University of Bremen, have also supported the complaint.
The development shows the enormous opposition among workers and young people to right-wing extremism and fascism. Students do not accept that right-wing extremist professors, with the active support of the university administration, can once again falsify history and promote fascistic politics at German universities.
“Ms. Kunst has time and time again systematically covered up Baberowski’s verbal and physical attacks on students, and suppressed necessary criticism of the right-wing extremist professor.”
