Students once again occupy a lecture hall on the Holländischer Platz campus, this time lecture hall 3 in the diagonal 5. They are protesting against the exclusion of student participation and the de facto abolition of the civil clause. This development makes it possible for the University of Kassel, to research and teach for military purposes in the future.
“Ours’ Uni – Ours’ clause – Ours’ Decision!” is the motto of the cast. According to the students, the occupation is planned until at least Monday. “We want to create an open space, where everyone can come in and out.” explains an occupier.
Last week, after the abolition of the civil clause, there was a spontaneous 18-hour occupation of the lecture hall. The Hessian Ministry of the Interior and the university management used force to clear the lecture hall with the police.
The students and employees of the University of Kassel experienced nationwide solidarity with their protest and announced further actions.
