Summer Term 2023

Dear fellow students,
Dear professors, lecturers and employees
In light of the impending "Gender Ban" effective from April 1st, we find ourselves at a crucial juncture. The directive, widely criticized for its exclusionary stance, threatens the inclusivity strides our university community has painstakingly achieved. Ironically, the measure intended to counteract a supposed "compulsion" towards gender-inclusive language ends up imposing its own form of exclusion, particularly affecting our queer and non-binary community members.
As a countermeasure, while we cannot adopt a "generic feminine" due to the nature of English, we will continue to innovate in our language to ensure inclusivity within our communications. This may not replicate the same protest as the generic feminine in German, but we aim to maintain an inclusive and welcoming environment through other means.
We regret the discomfort this situation may cause but feel compelled to stand firmly for inclusivity and diversity, especially in challenging times.

You can find an English version [here] on our website. We hope you like it!
We hope you survived the first of April unscathed and were able to start a new month with a smile on your face! The exact origin of this old custom is disputed, but our esteemed Augsburg is often seen as its starting point. Why is that not surprising? By the way, the 100 wildest April Fools' jokes have made it into a so-called prank museum (Museum of Hoaxes)! You can find everything there - from spaghetti trees to a dragged Eiffel Tower...

Week 13 | 2023
Dear Fellow Students,
Dear Professors, Lecturers and Staff,
if the Monday mail had appeared tomorrow, we would have told you all about Respect Your Cat Day. But since the Monday mail (at least this week) is not a Tuesday mail, you'll unfortunately have to be content with the renewed strikes. We hope you all got from A to B well anyway, were able to do home office, or your lecturers are kind enough to offer the lectures hybrid (like mine, thank you very much). Wherever you are, you don't have to come to the Monday mail, because it comes to you.

Dear fellow students,
Dear professors, lecturers and employees,
A new semester has begun and welcomed us with many news. The university celebrates its existence as a "Technische Hochschule" (I do not know if there is an official English name yet) and the eagerly awaited 200€ can now finally be applied for on the more than trustworthy sounding site "einmalzahlung200.de". Whether the name giver of AusweisApp2 had his fingers in the game... we will probably never know. But what you will find out is the latest news from the university.
