New hope for students: Vice Presidential Office announced at the University of Marburg!

Marburg, Deutschland - A real bang at the Philipps University Marburg! On December 18, 2024, the proposal was presented during the session of the student parliament (Stupa) to create the office of a student vice president. This was announced by Parliamentarians Lara Zieß (SDS), who made it clear that this new Vice President should have the same rights and obligations as the other Vice President. The main task will be to strengthen the communication between the university management and the students. However, it remains unclear whether an allowance is paid for this position, even though 700 euros are common. This student vice president is to be chosen on February 5, 2025, which is a milestone for student participation at the university, such as op-marburg reported .

demand for relief and discussion

The discussion in Stupa about this crucial innovation was lively. While some parliamentarians expressed concerns that the studies should not suffer from office, the case is already known at other universities that student vice presidents can take their studies for the duration of their term. A proposal to connect the new office with a potential extension of the BAföG was also heard. Despite the critical voices, the basic mood was positive - more influence for the students in the university administration is welcome. A parliamentarian then proposed to hold a cross -list in the new year in order to advise suitable candidates for the office. The Stupa plans to discuss this topic in more detail in its next meeting.
