Bahar Aslan lost her teaching position in Gelsenkirchen after a controversial tweet critical of the police. Aslan is taking legal action against the university, which does not want to revise its decision.
University President Martin Bornträger had a confidential conversation with Aslan last Friday. The conversation was constructive and marked by a common concern to further develop the topics of extremism and intercultural competence, the university says. The resulting polarization is regretted by all parties involved, it adds.
