Die Grundordnungsversammlung der Universität Freiburg - Debatten

According to the Baden Württemberg Higher Education Act of 1968, the University of Freiburg forms a Basic Regulations Assembly: 22 full professors, 10 lecturers, assistants and academic councillors, 10 students. Three commissions draft paragraphs. The students are defeated in votes. Under threat of withdrawal, they force further negotiations to be made public. Professor Jeschek, Criminal Law, Councillor of the Higher Regional Court, criticizes the public nature of the negotiations. This is a people's assembly, not a consultation, which could serve as a model for self-government matters. A student named Berger replies.
