Education after scandal: anti -Semitism and gender separation at University of Kiel!

Kiel, Deutschland - The Islam week at the Christian Albrechts University (CAU) in Kiel, which took place from May 5th to 9th, 2025, is currently causing violent discussions. Prime Minister Daniel Günther has expressed clear words about the allegations that arose during this event. In addition to reports on anti -Semitic and misogynistic incidents, gender separation at the events was particularly criticized. Günther calls for a comprehensive information and makes it clear that such ideologies at universities have no place, as

The events that took place during the Islam week are anything but unproblematic. Participants reported separate entrances for men and women as well as a seating arrangement that placed women back and men forward. This shows that the IHG, which has organized the action week, operates with a gender separation that is unacceptable for many. These and similar reports have also led to the concern of Science Minister Dorit Stenke, which emphasizes the importance of cosmopolitanism at universities. In particular, since a study by the Federal Ministry of Research indicates that anti -Semitism at universities has increased in Israel since the terrorist attack of Hamas, the investigation of these incidents must be top priority. According to ZDF , Israel-related anti-Semitism is observable in 8% of the students, which is not only a concern for the universities, but also for society.

controversy about speakers and content

The Islam week wanted to offer a platform for dialogue about Islam, but the selection of the speakers led to severe criticism. Setac Odabas appeared, the organization of which is assigned to a Salafist spectrum. In this context, seriousness in relation to the content and its effects on the students present was required. Especially eyewitnesses reported anti -Semitic stickers that were on laptops, making it clear that there was a need for action.

To clarify the situation, a conversation between the Vice President of the CAU for study and teaching, Markus Hundt, and the IHG is planned. Member of the FDP parliamentary group also required the clarification of the allegations. It remains to be seen which measures the university will take. At the moment, some privileges have been withdrawn from the IHG until the allegations have been examined, as well as mopo

An important step in the processing of these incidents will be the meeting of the state parliament on July 10, 2025. Here the events of an exact analysis should be subjected. In the meantime, public attention remains high, because the case is not only locally, but also affects the total social values ​​such as equality and cosmopolitanism. The political top gives clear instructions to universities and demands support in the fight against discrimination and extremism.

Such incidents are not only a challenge for the CAU, but also throw a shadow on the university system in Germany, which, according to current studies, is confronted with growing anti -Semitism. A fact that is alarming for both students and teachers.
