At its meeting on 28 May 2019, the Chemnitz University of Technology Academic Senate made the following statement on the recent elections:
Chemnitz University of Technology, as an educational and research institution, offers people from all over the world a home and welcomes them – regardless of where they come from, what religion they practice, their sexual orientation, or their choice of cohabitation.
On the basis of this conviction, we wish for an open-minded climate that is grounded in acceptance – not only on the university campus but throughout the city as a whole. Comments that contradict this notion, such as some that were made in the context of the recent elections, fill us with great concern. This particularly applies to racist, right-wing extremist or even openly radical right-wing ideologies. We resolutely oppose these political stances. We urge all city council members to continue to fight for an open and non-discriminatory environment in our city, and to stand up for the fundamental values of a free, democratic and open society!
