A departure that is probably not entirely voluntary: the scientists on the supervisory board support the outgoing founding president Hans Jürgen Prömel and complain about too much interference from the state government.
The change at the top of the Nuremberg University of Technology has not yet taken place, but there is great excitement in the German university landscape. The external scientists on the “Founding Steering Board”, an advisory, decision-making and supervisory board of the young university, sharply criticize the Bavarian state government. One point is the communication surrounding Hans Jürgen Prömel’s departure, plus there is irritation about the ministry’s interference in the everyday life of the TU Nuremberg and the concern that this castling is damaging to its reputation.
