university chair
There are four additional aspects I find troubling in the petition and in the public debate. (1) The praise of the apparently good old German university chair is not appropriate. This system is plagued by serious problems for young academics. They either don’t get a decent job at all or they have to wait far too long for job options. The adoration for the good old chair is part of this problem. A redistribution of resources could create tenure track jobs offering more security and stability. Freiburg seems to be led by this intention.
