Chaos in the allocation of university places, empty chairs in the lecture halls, despite many candidates: Is it under the Federal Education Minister Annette Schavan (CDU) and the President of the German Rectors' Conference (HRK), Margret Wintermantel, will be reflected in this year are not repeated. They met with university rectors from all 16 countries and with representatives of the Education Ministers (KMK) to a crisis summit and announce now: The agreement on the transition process as the final solution is 2011 - there will be a mess no more.

Education Minister Schavan ten million euros promised by the federal government
That sounds good, but critics do not believe that the decisions to solve important problems.
The Round Schavan announced that she had looked at 15 July is a single application deadline for the coming winter semester agreed - a date which has already led many universities had. Until mid-August, then the approvals will be sent to the plan. Who still has no place to be, from the beginning of September in an Internet stock market still on vacancies can be informed to apply directly to the respective universities to apply.
Rectors have prevailed
In the last year was the authorization
chaotic: Thousands of students have remained vacant. The problem: High School Graduates often apply to several universities or for different courses. Because the universities of different lengths for the After consultation process need to remain in university admission subjects often free. In this fall's even worse, adding that several states because of the shortened school graduates born in duplicate universities flock.
Swapping University Places

Who just a place far away from the university gets the first choice, do not despair - the study can be replaced. The same specialist, same semester, comparable Notes: Open for business. The exchange on blogs ONLINE provides a suitable partner, without endless paperwork. More ...
The HRK is now celebrating the agreed procedures as a breakthrough. "I am sure that the rectors of the transition processes are convinced," said the HRK President Wintermantel blogs ONLINE. It seems likely that it is right and so the university leaders behind the agreement can bring.
Even in the last week was at a meeting of the ZVS control group, a different procedure has been traded as a favorite, according to which students in the ZVS for maximum of twelve students should apply to the selection of candidates according to the criteria of higher education institutions or the application forward to the universities, depending on the desire of the university. Candidates should be automatically eliminated from the procedure if the initial request would be fulfilled. At the second stage should be the other candidates are still free space in which to study and offer input based on its list stands at its highest.
But the HRK had clarified that they will call no college to attend. Why should they? The ZVS is among the few popular rectors, the central allocation of university places is contrary to their urge to free competition and individual schemes. While the chairman of the ZVS control group Knut Nevermann
was still safe, and ZVS HRK now rowed in a direction ", is now clear that the principals have with their procedures enforced without ZVS, with its own Internet Exchange.
"The stock market only moves the temporary chaos to the rear"
"We have two objectives: The right choice of higher education must be guaranteed, they must create their own individual arrangements may be. At the same time, the right of candidates to a university meets," said Wintermantel blogs ONLINE. The right choice is now decided by the transitional procedures, but it also helps the candidates? It helps against chaos? Universities do underneath the floors boss doubts.
As a big laughing will be the "breakthrough" in some schools means, though not by the press offices of the Rectorate and committees. Open only to say that Gavin retired as Karin-Kramer, the 20 years as a trial consultant at the Free University of Berlin worked. However, similar criticism is made of various administrations to hear that deals with the issue.
The argument is: Neither space remainder common stock nor deadlines solve the real problem. Also there will be continued chaos at the university applications and approvals given. "The stock market only moves the temporary chaos to the rear," says Gavin-Kramer. Who at the first application's request did not get the place, be it in the remains of exchange again. "It is not possible to calculate whether a balance in second place or a hundred people apply," she blogs ONLINE. Recovery will not be matched, where anyone who has advertised.
Similar criticism comes from the German philologists Association. University autonomy was "not a carte blanche for selfishness and escape from the common responsibility," says the chairman Heinz-Peter Meidinger. He accused the Ministry of Education and university rectors, in the past, the university's own admission procedures required to have, but not with the consequences for the students involved to have.
The ZVS threatens the meaninglessness
Also in the ZVS is one, cautiously, very cautiously, what the outcome of the crisis meeting at Schavan is concerned. The stock market was "only a black board for the few remaining places," says spokesman Bernhard ZVS Scheer. To find the stock market is alleged to be under www.noch-free-studienplaetze.de. The address has the ZVS registered, the site is set up but not yet. As an alternative, it refers to its own transition process that is open to all universities and in which multiple applications are matched. "There is already in the winter semester a working platform at the ZVS, it should not come to the chaos," says Scheer.

Whether the ZVS at all but will still have a job, is in the stars. The final solution should be after crisis summit decision come 2011, two years later than originally planned. Until then, be an Internet platform to be created on the prospective students on admission in all study subjects and inform their applications on it. A service agency should supervise the platform and the placement of the student help. Ten million of the federal agency for the development of the Agency, said Schavan. That the agency directly from the ZVS showing off is not: You can make suggestions - "otherwise it makes someone else," said Schavan.
