The following is the summary of the positions of the main institutions associated with the university system
· The CRUI says "Our university system is already under funded compared to European standards and further Cutting costs not withstanding the impact on the university, leading to increased revenue Just as the students' contributions. The limitation of recruitment will damage research and teaching functions of universities. "
• The Coordination of Young Academics of Wisdom in a petition of Decree 112/2008 shows that the reduction in turnover also includes a reduction of the salaries of teachers making the three-year biannual their remuneration (art.69); off by a steady decline of public funds dedicated to the financing of basic research and dilapidated structures that make it difficult to do quality research. Waste management should be identified and action is a rationalization of spending also minimizing the external consultants. They wonder mechanisms of incentives to reward merit, through a regular assessment of the university system, with the aim not so much the savings but the higher efficiency. It 'necessary to provide funds to enable researchers to present their work to the relevant scientific community. (Http://cga.di.uniroma1.it/)
University • The National Committee noted that these measures seem anachronistic at a time which the University has expressed a desire to harmonize the process of improving the functioning of the institution. The CNU denounces the irrationality of the maneuver with the Minister to verify the feasibility of solutions to meet their responsibilities. • The
National Committee of University Researchers (CNRU): "The cuts to the Ordinary Financing Fund (FFO) in favor of so-called Centres of Excellence (Article 17) such as the IIT of Genoa, are a further attempt to move resources from the system State Universities in projects of direct government control, cutting 500 million over three years to FFO and the limitation of turnover (art.66) will reduce the recruitment and career advancement, preventing the rejuvenation of the class teachers. "(the relationship between FFO and the costs of regular staff can not exceed 90%)
• The Cons. Dept. of Philosophy and Theory of Human Sciences-Univ.Cagliari.-expressed strong concern about the consequences of the measures in question on the university system and research.
· The Association of Italian PhD students and PhDs (ADI) consider the grave consequences of heavy cuts and limits on the turnover corresponding to 20% for 2009-2011 and 50% by 2012. There is no idea of \u200b\u200bthe development strategy of the country that until recently was in the queue statistics of developed countries in the field of investment, and tomorrow will be worse, more and more away from the goals of the Lisbon strategy, calling for an investment 3% in Universities and Research. The only positive notes are the abolition of dual eligibility for the Competitions for teachers and the release of 40 million in the 2007 Budget for the competitions will be conducted by researchers with the usual non-transparent bankruptcy procedures.
· Prof. Vassallo-Paleologo University of Palermo-(Intervention: A truce for a few dollars and some promise): "The decree does not specify the legal status of staff already employed by the University .... Does not promote expenditure control mechanisms with the moralization of recruitment procedures. ... the level of the Italian research, yet appreciated at international level will be drastically reduced ... .. our system already knows the foundations as a tool to outsource tasks institutional (law 388/200). The DPR No 254/2001 identifies the foundations of the system as a means of reorganization and partial "privatization" of education, while the current definition of permanent foundation matches a privatization of universities ... .16 Article of Decree-Law is in violation of Article .33 of the Constitution stipulates that university autonomy and the entire Title V, which confers jurisdiction on the State of University Education, which therefore requires a unique legal status and the public. Many doubt that raises the possibility that a decision on privatization is the Senate with only an absolute majority of the members, and the transformation into a foundation that will carry out "spot leopard "is likely a major differentiation between universities North and South are the foundations are laid for a widespread conflict between the academic senates. It would be brought in the ordinary courts to invoke the nullity of the acts constituting the foundations, under Article .1418 cc or you may call into question the European Court of Justice with a question to tackle provisions that violate the equal treatment of workers ... The only certainty is a perspective indiscriminate increase of tuition fees, strong differentiation of curriculum and reduction in investment and regional government for the right to education. According Merusi can not speak of Trustees "private" whether the operation is controlled by public law, if the activity is funded by them for the most part, if the boards are appointed for more than half of public bodies. In this case we speak only of a public body. Finally, the purpose of the public are reiterated in the context of the creation of "a common European Higher Education Area" in 2010 appear not to be guaranteed by the DL 112/2008.
• The Chancellor of the University of Florence states that the transformation of universities into private foundations are not a viable alternative, both for the undefined terms of ambiguity the proposed model. The operations have a negative impact on students, administrative staff, researchers and teachers who, in the absence of corrective measures, will lead to the collapse of the entire public university system.
• Some teachers at the University of Turin, opposed the move because the DL 112/2008 will prevent the operation of research and teaching university, and the passage of the annual increment will increase the "brain drain" and the limitation of the turnover 20% of staff will clear most of the work done by the researchers. The result in reduced turnover on the one hand the increase in hours devoted to teaching by teachers and other a severe reduction of the training. The possibility of conversion into private foundations will inevitably lead to an increase in tuition fees because the foundations are exempted from the ceiling of 20% of FFO.
