The sixty-eight Italian universities trying to awaken on Monday that opens the season of spring – the university’s Spring, is the demonstration organized by the Conference of Rectors, the CRUI, embraced by 68 public and private universities from Trento to Catania – launch to the public in truth, a worried scream. The rector of Sapienza, Eugenio Gaudio, opens in Rome (A) the day distilling the data processed by the CRUI, the end of which says: “The government has taken the first steps to change the route, but they are timid steps.”
data are these. Italy has the lowest number of graduates in Europe: 17 percent. In the UK 42 percent, the average graduates of industrialized countries is 33, 32 of the European Union and France. If in Germany there is one teacher for every 7.5 students, in Italy one every nineteen. The University’s investment of 628 Euros per inhabitant in South Korea, of 304 euro in Germany and € 109 in our country. In the last seven years German governments have increased by 20 per cent public funding on universities and France by 3.6 percent, while from 2009 to 2016 Italy has decreased them by 9.9 percent by removing 902 million to 7 , 46 billion of ordinary Fund.
in ” university in decline “, subtitle Crui dossier, there were 130,000 students in less over the last five years (actually facing a new growth registered precisely in the 2015-2016 season), ten thousand researchers in less (about 60,500) in the last seven years, 5,000 PhDs in less the last five years. Very serious, and heavy, it is the European comparison on the right to education: in Italy are entitled to grants and residencies between 0 and 9 per cent of students, in France between 40 and 80 percent. From us, and the last events of the revision of the criteria Isee have extreme by the question, the number of those entitled to a scholarship is superior to available resources. In Italy it is not only eroded public participation in research, but remains under the virtuous standard expenditure by private: 45 percent of the total when the United States is the sixties and in Japan 75 percent.
in this scenario of underfunding, the physical Fulvio Ricci, project coordinator of the Virgo gravitational wave that involved twelve Italian universities and the national Institute of nuclear Physics, said the research carried out in Italy is comparable with that of the best American universities (Caltech and MIT) and Asian: “and ‘this is another miracle of the Italian mode,” said Ricci. Because? “We must live up to international partners that offer scholarships to young and salaries that vary, depending on the country, between two and four times what they can offer us.” Already. “Our boys are studying a life in Italian public schools and then find a job in the United States, France, Germany, Holland, Brazil. The human capital represented by the graduate immigrant has cost our country 23 billion. ” It closed Ricci: “Who is watching us from abroad are surprised of our stamina: the Gelmini law has led to a decrease of 100 percent of the research projects. We must make haste and bring new life to the universities, the miracles do not last long. “
In the face of lost resources, Italy in the world” is the eighth for publications, sixth for quotes before for work products compared to the number of researchers “. You say almost simultaneously at Sapienza University of Rome and the Pisa State. This distance between investments and results, again emphasized the rector Gaudio, is filled by a special dedication all Italian. Paolo Rossi, Professor of Physics at Pisa, the Cun adviser: “And ‘necessary a register of Italian research, not based on foreign strangers to our database logic.”
Several, across Italy, emphasized the bad narration of a public university, “corrupt and wasteful” then when the data “say the opposite”, many have questioned both the quality of research evaluation – large wound that still bleeds – that the assessment tout court: “One hundred percent of teachers must continually prove that it is not idle, and, so, fill cards on cards rather than teaching. ” Mario Panizza, rector of Rome III: “I am aware of the contradiction between criticism university autonomy in the management and the will of an independent planning and flexible, it is however necessary to ensure the possibility of adapting the management policy to the needs and the potential of the individual universities. Combine culture of government and maximum rigor in controlling budgets “. The rectors of the universities of Lombardy, together: “We free the universities from Burocrassic Park”. The dell’Udu students: “The rectors, in truth, were co-responsible for the dismantling of the Italian universities.
