Dear APUL members,
The APUL board calls for an extraordinary general assembly of APUL on the 14th of November (17:00 – 18:30 venue Campus Belval MSA 3.110).
The first purpose of this Extraordinary Assembly is to take a position on the Loi sur l’Université du Luxembourg. I was told that the Conseil d’Etat is said to publish soon his report on the law. The APUL board is convinced that APUL should send its view on the law to the Conseil d’Etat as soon as possible in order to have it taken into account. There are several points in the law that could be challenging the democratic functioning of our University and on which we should express our concern. We apologise for the short notice of this announcement and the haste required to deal with this issue but given the context, we believe there is an urgent need to meet.
The second purpose of this Extraordinary Assembly will be to start discussing a welcome letter APUL could send to Stéphane Pallage, the new appointed rector, in order to draw his attention on several points we consider crucial for the functioning of the University, among which and inter alia the lack of transparency of the central administration processes which needs to be addressed by the future governance of UL.
Let us apologise again for the short notice and hope that in this extremely important stage in the history of the University of Luxembourg this Extraordinary Assembly will be attended by many of us. A massive attendance will be a strong signal of our commitment to the democratic development and functioning of our University and our strength as a community.
Kind regards,
On behalf of the APUL board,
Elise Poillot
APUL Chair
