Umit upheaval: change of rector and dismissals provide excitement
Lienz, Österreich - In October 2023 there was a dramatic upheaval on Umit Tyrol: Rector Sandra ückert was recalled, which at the same time also had the mandate of Vice Rector Bernhard Tilg expired. This decision follows on persistent criticism that accuses the university of having operated an inefficient personnel policy that has led to a bloated administration and extremely high costs, such as ORF Tirol reported . The situation finally became so precarious that the UMIT in the management area spoke several dismissals, including the HR manager and the Rector Director. According to the chairman of the supervisory board Erich Pummerer, these measures were necessary to adapt the structures to the contemporary requirements and to gain more funds for science.
The UMIT TIROL GmbH, where the state of Tyrol appeared as a majority of Tyrol with 90 percent, has invested over 98 million euros in the Hall, Landeck and Lienz locations in the past two decades. These financial resources were crucial for the operation of the private university, which specializes in health sciences. Even if a location analysis is currently being worked on in order to determine the future alignment of the UMIT, rumors have been loud that the study branch had separated health sciences from the UMIT and relocated to the West training center for health professions in Innsbruck. However, these changes are still in the suspension, such as Umit tirol noted.
With the upcoming restructuring, the university aims to work more efficiently and to be better positioned in the face of high financial investments in teaching and research. Given the Serious Transformation at the University, it is a crucial moment in the history of the UMIT, which could significantly influence both the internal structure and the future strategy of the university.
