Securing the long-term future of Latin and of the CSEL at the University of Salzburg

Petitions express opinions. Disagreeing with a petition, or thinking it is pointless, is not grounds for a report, and such reports are closed automatically. Report a petition only if it breaks the law or our Community Guidelines, for example hate speech, defamation of a person or organisation, publishing private information, or fraud. We do not check whether the claims in a petition are true; the author is responsible for them.

This report goes to the people who run this website, not to the petition author or to any authority. If you have a question or feedback for the author, send them a message.

Petitions express opinions. Disagreeing with a petition, or thinking it is pointless, is not grounds for a report, and we do not remove petitions because people oppose them.

If you send this, your disagreement is recorded and the report is closed automatically with no action; the decision is sent to your email address. If the content breaks the law or our Community Guidelines, choose that option above instead.

You can also start your own petition or contact the author.

Is the false claim about you, your organisation, or another identifiable person or organisation?

Which passage is false? You can click several sentences in the petition text, and tell us for each what is true. This is optional.

Securing the long-term future of Latin and of the CSEL at the University of Salzburg

(Deutsche Version unten)

The Rectorate of the University of Salzburg plans not to fill the only existing full professorship for Latin at the Department of Classical Studies following the retirement of the current position holder. This does not mean that the Latin program would be discontinued. Nevertheless, there are solid arguments for preserving the professorship:

Only a strong Latin department with research-oriented teaching – for which a full professorship is essential – will be able to inspire students and meet the demand for Latin teachers in the long term.

Discontinuing the professorship will not only do harm to the field of study itself, but also to the other disciplines of Classical Studies within the University.

As one of the central building blocks of European intellectual history, Latin is indispensable, especially for the University of Salzburg, which is well-known for its strengths in the humanities, cultural studies and theology.

Only the professorship will ensure the continuation of the project Corpus Scriptorum Ecclesiasticorum Latinorum, which has been publishing critical editions of Latin patristics in the world-renowned CSEL series since 1866.

We therefore call upon the Rectorate, the Senate and the University Council of the Paris Lodron University of Salzburg to include the professorship for Latin in the development plan for the years 2022-2027.

Zur langfristigen Sicherung des Fachs Latein an der Universität Salzburg und zur Fortführung des CSEL

Das Rektorat der Universität Salzburg plant, die einzige vollwertige Professur für Latein am Fachbereich Altertumswissenschaften nicht nachzubesetzen. Das würde zwar nicht bedeuten, dass das Studienfach Latein eingestellt wird, dennoch gibt es gewichtige Argumente für die Nachbesetzung:

Nur eine starke Latinistik mit forschungsgeleiteter Lehre – und dafür ist eine vollwertige Professur von essentieller Bedeutung – wird imstande sein, Studierende zu begeistern und den Bedarf an Lateinlehrern auch langfristig zu decken.

Ein Verzicht auf die Professur wird nicht nur dem Fach selbst, sondern auch den anderen altertumswissenschaftlichen Disziplinen an der Universität schaden.

Latein als eine der Grundlagen der europäischen Geistesgeschichte ist gerade für die Universität Salzburg mit ihren bekannten Stärken in Geistes- und Kulturwissenschaften sowie in der Theologie unverzichtbar.

Nur mit einer Professur ist die Fortsetzung des Projekts Corpus Scriptorum Ecclesiasticorum Latinorum, das seit 1866 in der weltweit renommierten Reihe CSEL kritische Editionen der lateinischen Patristik herausgibt, gesichert.

Wir fordern daher das Rektorat, den Senat sowie den Universitätsrat der Paris Lodron Universität Salzburg auf, die Nachbesetzung der Professur für Latein in den Entwicklungsplan für die Jahre 2022–2027 aufzunehmen.

A false claim about an identifiable person or organisation is defamation, and we do act on that.

Who is the content about?
Is the person the content is about a politician, a decision-maker or another public figure?
What does the content criticise?

Public criticism of how a politician or decision-maker acts in a public role is allowed, also when the events are old. That a matter is old is not in itself a ground for removal. We can still act on a false claim about the person or on otherwise unlawful content.

If the matter is old or no longer current, it is best to contact the petition author directly. The author can remove the petition for any reason; we cannot.
