The Student Unions statement on the dismissal of the Rector Moira von Wright

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.
