Uni Bonn privatized toilets.

Dirty toilets to the Bonn University tuition-only rehabilitate Euros - a handle to the loo, angry students. The famous plan followed another: Now the university is looking for an external operator, by the students toilet collects tolls.

 

The leadership of the University of Bonn came in November, a probably unique idea for the use of tuition fees: 545,000 euros to the university verplanen - and the money directly into Uniklos sink. Specifically focused on ailing toilets at the Law Faculty and in the main building of the Bonn Hofgarten, a sorely needed renovation seems to have - far from uni-known "dirty toilets" reports of "Bonner General-Anzeiger".

Bonner graduates: Hurray, finally Nobel Toilets

In North Rhine-Westphalia, there is a "Minister of Innovation" (Andreas Pinkwart, FDP) and an "academic freedom act". This allows colleges and universities for well over two years, fees for an initial study period. The Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn hastened with the implementation, since the summer of 2007, the students then 500 euros per semester to pay.

The universities can the proceeds from the campus but not toll verbraten, as the Rector or the Senate just stopped. The law restricts it so: "The contributions of third parties and funds are earmarked for the improvement of teaching and study conditions should be used."

"How in stations, users must pay for their business"

But not everything is teaching and studying, somehow? And not everywhere is rife great distress? Germany's universities forged once the most beautiful maps, what to do with the money of the students could make - from the
Rehabilitation of an underground car park (Passau) to
Verfeuern for heating, just like at the University of Hohenheim rectorate proposed.

Also, the university saw the Bonn NRW-campus toll as carte blanche, even much-needed renovations with money to pay the really exclusive for more and better teaching to be used, such as fees advocates always stress. In November, the Senate, the toilet refurbishment, the student senators voted against it. The spokesperson of the university defended the plan as follows: "To improve the study conditions also include functional toilets," he says, the "Bonner General-Anzeiger".

That was not the Asta partout view and argued that toilets were "absolutely basic" and so clearly from the land fund. The student representatives were afraid of an old campus toll opponents confirmed: "How worried are the tuition fees is not the improvement of teaching," said spokesman Christopher Asta Paese, "a clearer example can be found unlikely."

From the Campus to the toll Klomaut

In mid-January, the university then their plan, the toilets with students to beautify Euros back. And presented a surprising alternative: an "external operator" should now "for the university town won," shared with the university.

The investor should begin to repair the toilets and then must establish hubs. The University announces: "As in railway stations and motorway service user must then pay for their business." The contract had already been issued, report to the General-Anzeiger ".

From the Campus to the toll Klomaut - a small step for mankind, a big step for the University of Bonn. Perhaps the imaginative University Senate for good suggestions for short Kloprivatisierung to a payer of the fees apply. A student Bonner suggests in his
Blog under the heading "University of Bonn - Abkack!" before the contract directly to the local Deutsche Telekom to forgive. The company finally had experience with tolling systems. She was certainly in a position to the toilets with toll-collection "until the winter semester 2016 rudimentary to make operational".

Surpassing the student would only be a deal, the cafeteria of the student directly to the motorway service operator Tank & Rast transfers. Their daughter Sanifair Toilet Toilet owners could be seen as "value coupons for snacks and drinks to issue" if the student for their Notdurftservice decides.

Absurd? Seems impossible in Bonn nothing.
