Catalan public universities want to exempt themselves from examining 'indepe' students so they can demonstrate for 1-O

Catalan public universities are oriented to allow 'indepe' students to skip conventional exams and take advantage of an alternative evaluation system to be able to spend all their time to demonstrate against the 1-O ruling.

After a large majority of the cloisters of the centers cascaded manifests demanding, literally, the release of those convicted of sedition by the illegal referendum of 1-O, at least two centers have started the road in recent days clear exams the lives of students who want to mobilize for unilateral independence in these months.

Thus, the cloisters of both the University of Girona and the Autonomous University of Barcelona have approved in the last hours "alternative evaluation" systems, which must be endorsed in the coming days by the governing councils of the centers, so that this 'bull' independentista 'possible.

Nine faculties of the University of Barcelona

Together with them, at least nine faculties of the University of Barcelona are considering taking measures in the same direction, sources from the university explained to this newspaper. All of them by requests of their student representation bodies , and all of them with the approval of the deanery. The idea here would be to make evaluations more flexible until at least November 5, the greatest margin that the Bologna Plan norms could allow, which homogenizes the functioning of all European universities.

There is also some position to the contrary. The Pompeu Fabra , for example, approved its manifesto on Thursday against the Supreme Court's ruling on 1-O, but its cloister rejected in a bitter vote to propose an alternative evaluation to facilitate protests.

The plan, therefore, includes providing two evaluative models to the students, a kind of menu: those who want to continue with the regulated system may do so, but those who wish to spend all their time in the protests will see the expedited path.

"This is really a trap," Maribel Fernández , a professor of Communication at the Autonomous University and members of Per La Constitución University commented to EL MUNDO: "Because in reality the students would have, apart from the four hours of class each day, another 20 to manifest as they want. Here in reality what is being allowed is that those who want to demonstrate for political reasons have a clear path to prevent those who do want to study from going to class. "
