The Board of Åbo Akademi University has, on a board meeting on the 1st of November, decided to dismiss Moira von Wright as the Rector for Åbo Akademi University.
The cooperation with the university will continue regardless of the changes in the University leadership. The Student Union will continue to supervise student interests as before.
To be able to solve the problems at the university, it is important to reflect on them and have an open dialogue with each other. We have to identify the reasons behind the problems before we can achieve an improvement.
Clear communication is key when it comes to students managing their studies and feeling welcome on campus. The Student Union is happy to collaborate with the current leadership in order to further develop communication about reforms, as well as everyday routines so that students are both involved, and are up to speed with current happenings.
The Student Union of ÅAU wishes to thank Moira von Wright for the cooperation in the past years.

The Student Union of Åbo Akademi University has elected a new Student Union Council for the period 1.1.2022-31.12.2023. 25 councillors with respective deputy councillors were chosen.
76 candidates ran in the elections.
1077 votes were cast of which 21 votes were rejected, which gives a voting activity percentage of 21.35%.
Based on the preliminary election results the council seats will be divided as follows:
Gemensamma Vasa (GV): 7
FNT-Listan: 6
MK-Listan (MKL): 5
Åbo-Vasa Socialdemokratiska Studerande (ÅVSS): 0
De Rättvisa (DRV): 5
Liberala Studernade (LSK): 2
These results are preliminary. The result will be determined by the election committees meeting 4th of November.
The Student Union of ÅAU takes the events that have occurred in recent weeks in student life seriously, where there have been reports of students possibly being drugged during events. Drugs do not belong in the student life and all students should have the right to safely participate in events and not be afraid of being drugged. We take these allegations very seriously and condemn these cases. The Student Union of ÅAU has absolute zero tolerance for this behavior.
We remind you to contact the emergency response center with a low threshold if you suspect you have been drugged. It is important to get to hospital care as soon as possible from the time suspicion arises in order to be able to confirm if someone has been drugged.
Student safety is our highest priority at our events. Collective responsibility is now required from everyone to ensure that this phenomenon comes to an end. The restaurants and bars must wake up to what is happening in their spaces and ensure that everyone can feel safe.
We will for our part develop an information package and organise education for our associations, so that they know how to act in such situations in their spaces and at their events. In addition, we actively cooperate nationally with other student unions to review what we can do together to counter the phenomenon.
Let’s do safer events together!
