IV. Festlegung der endgültigen Tagesordnung/ Determination of the points of order

TOP 1: Aktueller Stand/ Current Affairs (update international night)

- Communication continues within the AK group to clarify whether the event (international night) will take place or be cancelled.

- Viona and Johanna searched for places to stay near Phönixberg for the FSR weekend. This time, a seminar room is being considered. A response is expected by Friday at the latest.

TOP 2: Stickers + Waffle Stand for university elections

- Felipe & Luisa presented three sticker designs.

- The FSR decided to choose the sticker with the word “Student” in green, orange, and a colourblind-friendly version.

- The election date must be included on the stickers.

- It was suggested to ask the department if they would cover the costs for the stickers and also could cover the costs for the waffles.

- Felipe & Luisa compared two providers regarding pricing.

- We will first ask Heide how many stickers should be ordered and how many students are currently enrolled in the department.

- A quantity of 1,000 stickers for €46 was discussed.

- Luisa and Felipe will send the final corrected sticker design to the group.

TOP 3: Event in January (AK Anti-Discrimination Project)

- No concrete preparations have been made so far.

- Further coordination will take place via WhatsApp to discuss how to proceed.

TOP 4: Topics for the next FBR-meeting on the 21.01.26

- A brief mood check was taken for the election in the FBR, depending on the competing candidates, to figure out the majority view. 

Sonstiges/Others:

- Ilka Gersemann and Prof. Klemm attended the meeting to inform the FSR that Ms. Gersemann intends to run for the position of Dean of Office. She formally introduced herself and outlined her goals.

- Ms. Gersemann is currently a program coordinator ICEUS (Master) . The Dean of Office is elected every four years within the department.

- Her main focus would be on strengthening and developing the study programs. She emphasized the need for more flexibility and improvement within the programs, especially since some bachelor programs are currently too small to adequately plan future offerings with high-quality content.

- She proposed:

• -> Improving program quality and fostering stronger connections between programs (e.g. links to marketing),

• -> Increasing networking within the department,

• -> Enhancing student life and participation,

• -> Reducing bureaucratic barriers within the university, as students currently face many administrative challenges,

• -> Offering more courses through overlapping program structures to avoid courses with very low enrollment.

- She acknowledged the challenge that very large student numbers can limit the depth of discussion, but argued that offering more courses with smaller group sizes would give students greater freedom of choice while maintaining quality.

- Ms. Gersemann also expressed interest in meeting with the FSR more frequently to discuss ongoing issues, evaluate developments, and involve students more actively in curriculum planning. She emphasized that, should problems arise, she expects open communication and collaboration rather than immediate confrontation or protest.

- Regarding anti-discrimination efforts, she noted that such topics should primarily be addressed and moderated by professors, while actively involving students in discussions (e.g. through WhatsApp groups or similar formats).
