The Rector of the University of Turin to convene a Senate Thursday, November 13 Academic open to all members "It 's no doubt, beyond any political interpretation of each controversy and partisan, that the measures of the government's University are deeply disadvantageous especially for those universities that in recent years have held a virtuous conduct in terms of resource use, such as taking care not to exceed the limit of 90% in the ratio of staff salaries / FFO and working at local, with local authorities and the former banking foundations, in order to develop projects for funding for research, promote the integration of young researchers, especially to promote the internationalization of higher levels of university education.
with deep vision, moreover, since 2002 the University of Turin has developed a plan for the workforce, both on teachers and on the administrative staff, which evaluates early terminations secure from year to year until 2012, has enabled the Faculty to the University and to know with certainty the amount of available resources and use them in any suitable way in relation to educational and scientific needs, and this has enabled us to eliminate reasons for disputes within and among faculty , di pianificare a medio e lungo termine il turn-over, di ottimizzare l’attività degli uffici amministrativi con un’adeguata distribuzione delle risorse umane e, inoltre, di celebrare un numero di concorsi (soprattutto di ricercatore, fino al 70% circa del totale delle valutazioni comparative espletate) tale da rinnovare per oltre un terzo in pochi anni l’intero parco docenti dell’Ateneo.
Una simile politica e un simile ricambio hanno avuto ricadute positive anche sui risultati della didattica e della ricerca come dimostrano gli esiti della valutazione compiuta dal CIVR, Comitato di Indirizzo per la Valutazione della Ricerca, resi pubblici due anni or sono (la valutazione riguardava il trienno 2001-2003) ed usati anche nel modello for the calculation and allocation of FFO from CNVSU.
Now that effort is likely to be affected by choices that seem not justified by a real project of reform and renewal of the Italian university system, and sustained structural reform agenda that would definitely need, but by a mere need to make money in saving every sector of public administration, including precisely those of the School, University and Research, in at least short-sighted perspective of the role that education, universities and research must play in a globalized society such as exclusive engine development and innovation. What I particularly regret is that after repeated and shared conversation about absolutely need to apply methods merit in the distribution of public resources at the University, be fulfilled indiscriminate cuts, and that, in fact, penalize those who have been economically virtuous outcomes research and has produced popular and well valued and rewarded those who did not tended to waste produced and less exciting scientific results.
On another side of the block turn-over of 20% represents a serious threat to the hopes of many young people about to enter careers in research and certainly feed, on the one hand, new massive brain drain abroad , on the other, subtract generations of young people for good scientific public with enormous damage to the country. seems to feel that the choices of the Ministry directed all attention to the economic contingency, which requires us to limit state spending and without discrimination, and an uncorrected vision and realized the role of public universities, which - in my Warning - continues to be the pivot of our development in a scientific, economic, civil and ethical, especially in a situation like the one where the Italian industries are too small to meet their own expenditure on research and innovation, or - even less - private foundations to fund universities.
to discuss the situation of our University and the University in this Italian crucial time of transition I think a comparison should be collective within a Senate open to all members of the University of Turin (faculty, staff, students), where you can speak and express their evaluations. This meeting will be held in Great Hall on Thursday 13 November at 15.00. "
The Rector Prof. Ezio Pelizzetti
At the height of modern rationality, come to feel the vertigo of reason, that mixture of fascination and repulsion that grabs the man before all'impossedibile foundation of existence, Schelling and Nietzsche - and precursor extreme summit of krisis - address that the original, as it is Will that is converted into absolute freedom, is able to establish a new beginning, overcoming the nihilistic drift produced by the false unity of the Hegelian system.
