Statement by the Executive Board of the University of Kassel

Over the past few days, we have held discussions and received reports indicating that the police operation in connection with the occupation of a lecture hall was met with mixed reactions from the university community. We regret the uncertainty and frustration that have arisen among some students and staff. 

The Executive Board is available to members of the university for discussions regarding developments on campus following the occupation of Lecture Hall 1 on November 4. We are already engaged in dialogue on this matter.

It is our hope that the University of Kassel campus will remain a place for intellectual and peaceful debate on issues that concern our university and our society. This also includes a culture of democracy in action.
