In 2015, the Student Council of the University of Ljubljana was faced with the basic tasks laid down by the University of Ljubljana Statute and with a number of attempts by Slovenian politics to influence higher education. At the beginning of the term of office, we participated in the drawing-up of a new proposal for the Higher Education Act, which never came into effect. This occurred, among other reasons, because we stood up in solidarity with the Slovenian Student Organisation, the University of Ljubljana Student Organisation, the University of Maribor Student Council and the University of Primorska Student Council in defence of student rights.
Several critiques were provided in respect to the course of the adoption of a new University of Ljubljana Statute. The adoption of such an important document will require many harmonisation attempts, which is why the University of Ljubljana Student Council has prepared meaningful arguments. We are opposed to the equalisation of full-time and part-time studies, introduction of the general administrative procedure in matters of appeal and other such procedures and against reducing the number of exam dates. We also witnessed amendments to instructions for organising programme contents at the University and took an active role in the adoption of the document.
We monitored the work and operations of the University throughout the year, engaged in joint projects and established proper cooperation, which is also a fundamental and important basis for continuing the constructive work of the University of Ljubljana Student Council in 2016.
