Experiences of classism at the UoC

The #unboxingdiscrimination campaign collected and shared experiences and observations of classism at the UoC.

Ein Zettel mit dem Logo der Kampagne #unboxingdiscrimination hängt an dem SSC der UzK. Es liest: Nachdem ich in einer Vorlesung nach der Bedeutung eines Fachbegriffs gefragt habe, hat eine Kommilitonin gesagt, ich hätte an der Uni nichts zu suchen und nehme nur irgendwem den Studienplatz weg.“

"After I asked in a lecture about the meaning of a technical term, a fellow student said that I had no place at the university and was just taking away someone's place."
