“«Have you experienced abuse of power at your university?» we asked in a nationwide survey. Within a very short time, 180 people responded. Their accounts reveal a structural problem in academia.”

We are well aware of this and have been fighting against it for years, yet we can never become accustomed to the sheer scale of abuse of power in academia.

Recherche-Team REFLEKT’s investigation has given our colleagues a voice and thoroughly investigated the causes of this widespread abuse of power, for which we are extremely grateful.

These are not isolated cases, but rather systemic dysfunction that allows a few people to destroy others with complete impunity, and it must stop!
