Der Senat @uni-kiel.de wendet sich klar gegen die Wissenschaftsfeindlichkeit der AfD und warnt nachdrßcklich vor den Gefahren autoritärer Politik. "Mit einem Angriff auf die Gender Studies wird ein Präzedenzfall geschaffen, der sich beliebig auf andere wissenschaftliche Disziplinen ausweiten lässt."
