TUTORAGGIO GRATUITO

L3 student3 troppo spesso si trovano spaesat3 e in difficoltà, per ovviare a questo tipo di problematicità chiediamo di garantire un tutoraggio gratuito per tuttз l3 student3 che ne sentissero l’esigenza. 

9 APPELLI

Chiediamo l’aumento a 9 appelli per tutti i corsi, così da favorire il percorso di studi e la preparazione a tuttз l3 student3. Inoltre è necessaria una revisione della distribuzione degli appelli. 

PIANO DI STUDI APERTO

Al momento il servizio per la compilazione del piano di studi dà la possibilità all3 student3 di accedervi una sola volta all’anno, provocando disagi e ritardi. Per modificarlo fuori la finestra temporale è necessario pagare una tassa. Chiediamo la possibilità di modificare i piani di studio ogni qualvolta l3 student3 ne sentisse l’esigenza, così da favorire il proprio percorso di studio e la scelta dei singoli corsi in modo più consapevole.

DIDATTICA A DISTANZA

La pandemia ha dato la possibilità a molt3 student3 che non avevamo mai frequentato le lezioni di frequentarle. Sebbene la pandemia sia finita l3 student3 impossibilitat3 a seguire le lezioni rimangono. Parliamo di: student3 lavorator3, caregiver, persone in condizioni psicologiche fragili, fuorisede nei periodi in cui si torna a casa, persone con disabilità fisiche e tant3 altr3, per loro chiediamo una didattica a distanza ad hoc della quale poter usufruire. 

SAPERI DECOLONIALI

La nostra università se si parla di didattica innovativa e decostruita non è a buon punto. Vogliamo dei saperi decoloniali, queer e transfemministi. Inoltre, chiediamo una didattica innovativa, meno verticale e più a misura di student3, integrando metodi alternativi alla classica lezione frontale, anche rispettando le esigenze di ogni corso di studio.

NO AL NUMERO CHIUSO

La questione del numero chiuso è sempre stata una nostra battaglia, abbiamo sempre lottato perché questa non fosse una soluzione alla carenza di spazi, docenti e posti. Per questo ci impegneremo a chiedere l’abolizione del numero chiuso in quei corsi dove già esiste e il respingimento qualora venisse proposto. 

RIFORMA DEI 60 CFU

L’attuale riforma dei 60 cfu è una battaglia che trova riscontro a livello nazionale. A livello di ateneo quello che chiediamo è la totale gratuità per l’iscrizione ai corsi.

VALUTAZIONE E MERITOCRAZIA 

In questo periodo storico, l’università si basa su un sistema di valutazione che presenta parecchie problematiche, a partire dall’attuazione del metodo meritocratico. 

La meritocrazia infatti, per come è intesa ad ora, agevola quelle persone che hanno i mezzi economici e i privilegi sociali per potersi dedicare a tempo pieno agli studi. L’università così intesa rischia di andare a creare un divario tra studenti che godono di condizioni economiche favorevoli e studenti che devono pensare a come pagarsi gli studi, riducendo così per essi le possibilità di crescita personale e lavorativa che l’università può e dovrebbe fornire indistintamente a tutti.

Una soluzione potrebbe essere quella di tenere in considerazione lo stato economico e sociale dell’individuo tra i vari fattori di valutazione, con un’ottica intersezionale e transfemminista, che portiamo avanti in ognuna delle nostre proposte.

SPORTELLO DI ORIENTAMENTO AGLI STUDI

Chiediamo l’istituzione di uno sportello di orientamento agli studi che possa fornire aiuto e informazioni in entrata per le nuove matricole, in itinere nella scelta del piano di studi e dei vari curricula ed in uscita per lɜ laurendɜ. 

INTERNAZIONALIZZAZIONE ED ERASMUS 

Chiediamo una revisione delle procedure di selezione dando più peso alle motivazioni e agli esami di lingua per rendere il programma Erasmus+ davvero accessibile a tutti gli studenti e studentesse. 

Vogliamo un ampliamento delle offerte poiché carenti in alcuni corsi di studio e l’aumento dell’importo delle borse per rendere questa esperienza accessibile anche agli studenti economicamente svantaggiati, secondo la loro attestazione ISEE già presentata. 

Chiederemo inoltre che le università che sono, o saranno, coinvolte nell’ambito del programma Erasmus+ vengano scrutinate secondo i canoni della Carta Etica successivamente citata, al fine di assicurarsi che esse non supportino o promuovano, con attività extra e/o didattica, le politiche del paese di appartenenza o di paesi terzi che vanno contro al rispetto dei diritti umani o che abbiano affiliazioni con ditte le quali non rispettano i criteri indicati per la collaborazione o la ricezione di finanziamenti col nostro stesso Ateneo. 

TRANSFEMMINISMO:

Vogliamo che l'università, come spazio attraversato dall3 student3, diventi, soprattutto, uno spazio attraversabile. Per raggiungere questo obiettivo, dunque, è necessario che sia uno spazio in cui le pratiche utilizzate siano quelle transfemministe. Il transfemminismo come valore e come pratica è un punto cardine per noi Studenti Indipendenti. Vogliamo continuare a lavorare proponendo dialogo propositivo, incontro e formazione. Vogliamo che l'Università ci aiuti in questo processo. Chiediamo, quindi, che si continui a lavorare per il centro antiviolenza di ateneo, attraverso l'assunzione di personale esperto e formato affinchè diventi un punto di riferimento per tutte le soggettività . Chiediamo maggiore attenzione nei confronti delle violenze tramite sondaggi e questionari per ogni dipartimento. Chiediamo che vengano organizzati corsi di formazione per insegnati e lavorat3. Infine, riteniamo sia fondamentale che l'Ateneo dimostri attenzione verso le giornate del 25 novembre e 8 marzo, in quanto momenti di riflessione quindi di bilancio e rilancio verso il futuro

ANTIFASCISMO 

Vogliamo che l'Ateneo non conceda finanziamenti e spazi a organizzazioni che non dichiarino esplicitamente di ripudiare il fascismo; solleciti lo sviluppo di ricerca e didattica capaci di riflettere in parallelo sul fascismo storico e sulla riemersione delle destre estreme e dei nuovi fascismi.

Inoltre, vogliamo farci promotori di iniziative di divulgazione su questi temi. Continueremo infine a impegnarci nel sostegno del progetto Promemoria Auschwitz, un viaggio nella memoria organizzato dall'associazione Deina per conoscere il passato, comprendere il presente e immaginare il futuro.

Consapevoli che l’antifascismo si deve tradurre in nella vita quotidiana contro ogni forma di oppressione, ci impegniamo per eliminare ogni accordo tra il nostro ateneo e Paesi che attuano politiche di segregazione razziale, discriminazioni, suprematismo etnico/religioso: vogliamo che l’università interrompa ogni accordo con le università israeiliane.

ANTIMAFIA E CORRUZIONE 

Pensiamo che l’Università, come centro di cultura, abbia la responsabilità sociale di schierarsi apertamente contro le mafie. Chiediamo dunque che l’università si schieri con forza certificando e garantendo che gli enti esterni con cui vengono svolti i tirocini non abbiano alcun genere di legame mafioso. Chiediamo inoltre che l'ateneo si dimostri un alleato degli studenti in questa lotta dando il patrocinio alla data nazionale del 21 marzo (giornata nazionale in ricordo delle vittime innocenti delle mafie) e impegnandosi (come già altre realtà scolastiche fanno) a partecipare attivamente all'organizzazione di altre ricorrenze come il 23 maggio, data in cui si ricorda la strage di Capaci. 

SOSTENIBILITÀ AMBIENTALE

Il nostro Ateneo deve essere in prima linea nella lotta al cambiamento climatico e per questo chiediamo che: venga effettuata la raccolta differenziata in ogni sede, che siano previste tutti i giorni opzioni vegane e vegetariane in mensa, che l’università fornisca periodicamente report ambientali circa il proprio impatto e i propri investimenti, che l’Ateneo non prenda accordi con grandi multinazionali inquinanti (es.ENI), che le cassette dell’acqua siano disponibili in ogni sede, che sia incentivato l’uso di mezzi pubblici e biciclette e che entro il 2030 la Statale abbandoni ogni fonte fossile. 

COLLABORAZIONI CON ENTI ESTERNI E AZIENDE

Pensiamo sia inoltre necessaria una Carta Etica per stabilire con quali aziende poter instaurare rapporti. 

Riteniamo necessario che l’università stili un protocollo da rispettare per le aziende che versano finanziamenti, affinché i soldi di cui dispone l’Ateneo non provengano da aziende che sfruttano i territori e le persone, che sono coinvolti nell’industria bellica e le aziende devono anche disporre di una certificazione antimafia. aziende che sfruttano l’ambiente aziende che hanno interessi economici in paesi che non rispettano i diritti umani

Studenti Indipendenti, (indipendent students) is a student organization  who share an alternative vision of the university: inclusive, independent, transfeminist, and democratic. We are an independent political entity, free from any ties to political, economic, or religious organizations, thus devoid of external influences.

Our main mission is to defend the rights of students and to strive to improve the places where we live and study. Decision-making moments are always open to anyone who wishes to join, participate, and propose initiatives and grievances to bring to the representative bodies, allowing us to be broadly representative of the student community.Join us, and you can change your course of study, your faculty, and your university!

TAXES AND RIGHT TO STUDY

We believe that the right to study should be universally guaranteed without any distinction, and that higher education should also be free, public, and secular. The right to study is a broad theme that includes scholarships, taxation, residences, related services, dining services and transportation. University, as it is conceived today, is a place where strong inequalities persist, and those who come from economically privileged positions have greater access and success in their university careers. This is why the right to study is a fundamental issue that we address daily to guarantee access to university for all regardless of their economic starting conditions, without meritocratic distinctions.

TAXES

University should be free, funded through general taxation. For this reason, we have always been committed, and will continue to strive to reduce taxes until student contributions are zeroed out. Specifically, in the coming years we would like to:

- Raise the no-tax area to 40,000 euros of ISEE

- Eliminate the surcharge for students who have not completed their course  

after two years after the expected time

- Remove the difference in taxation between courses of areas A and B

- Reduce taxation for the middle income brackets up to 50,000 euros of ISEE- Increase the number of brackets with different rates between existing brackets

- Progressively facilitate taxation for off-campus students with ISEE up to 50,000- Implement these measures without raising the taxation for students with ISEE above that level

SCHOLARSHIPS

Scholarships are essential financial contributions to guarantee the right to study for students with lower ISEEs.- We demand the early disbursement of installments: students currently remain without the money from the scholarship until mid-academic year, without having the economic means to anticipate necessary expenses for study coverage of scholarships: currently, due to lack of funds, some eligible students do not benefit from the money to which they would be entitled.

- The elimination of merit criteria for scholarships: currently, obtaining and maintaining a scholarship requires meeting certain merit requirements. However, the concept of merit can actually perpetuate economic inequalities. Moreover, a right should be guaranteed beyond merits, giving everyone the same opportunities.- Physical and online DSU desk to facilitate the bureaucratic aspects of disbursing the scholarship and monitor its correct distribution.

RESIDENCES

Renting in Milan has become unsustainable, and it is essential that the University guarantees residences to all entitled students.- Currently, there are insufficient places: we want an increase of at least 1000 places in university residences.

- We want eligible non-beneficiaries and off-campus students with ISEE up to 50,000 to be able to use the beds at regulated prices, through an agreement with the Municipality and Region.

BOOKS AND EDUCATIONAL MATERIALS

We want agreements with bookstores for discounts on books in the curriculum and an increase in the copies in the libraries of Unimi.

CUTTING THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS' TOKEN

We believe that the token payment of the Board of Directors, currently 27 thousand euros annually for each member, is excessively high, and we demand its reduction in favor of greater investment in the right to study, adjusting it to the average of other universities.

CAFETERIAS AND DINING AREAS

We request that the university canteen services be internalized, that meal prices be reduced and equalized across all campuses. We also want menus for specific dietary needs (vegan and vegetarian, halal, gluten-free, allergies and intolerances). We desire the opening of dining spaces in all locations with microwaves where it is possible to eat food brought from home. We want a cafeteria in every location. We aim to increase the number of affiliated bars near various campuses and university residences.We want to extend the service of subsidized meals to all up to an ISEE of 50,000 euros. Off-campus students with scholarships should have the right to a free evening meal: we want cafeterias open in the evening and affiliated bars open at night.

TRANSPORT

We believe it is necessary for our university to establish agreements with the relevant authorities, in order to obtain better pricing concessions for commuting students by correlating the amount paid for subscriptions to the economic situation and having this expense covered by the university.

SPACES

We believe that significant investments are necessary to make the university more livable for students. We think the university should commit to keeping at least one library open in each campus area until late at night and also over the weekend.We also want all the cloisters in Festa del Perdono to be opened.

TEACHING 

FREE TUTORING 

Students often find themselves disoriented and struggling; to address this issue, we demand the provision of free tutoring for all students who feel the need. 

9 EXAM SESSIONS 

We ask for an increase to 9 exam sessions for all courses to support students' educational paths and preparation. 

OPEN STUDY PLAN 

Currently, the service for compiling study plans allows students access only once a year, causing inconveniences and delays. To modify it outside said time window requires a fee. We request the ability to modify study plans whenever students feel the need, thus supporting their educational path and the choice of individual courses more consciously. 

DISTANCE LEARNING  

The pandemic has given many students who had never attended classes the opportunity to do so. Although the pandemic is over, students unable to follow lessons remain. We are talking about working students, caregivers, people in fragile psychological conditions, off-site students during periods when they return home, people with physical disabilities, and many others. For them, we ask for ad hoc distance learning that they can take advantage of.

DECOLONIAL KNOWLEDGE  

Our university is not great when it comes to innovative and deconstructed teaching. We want decolonial, queer, and transfeminist knowledge. Moreover, we ask for innovative teachings, less vertical and more tailored to students, integrating alternative methods to the classic frontal lesson, also respecting the needs of each course of study. 

NO TO NUMERUS CLAUSUS  

The issue of numerus clausus (limited number of inscriptions) has always been our battle, we have always fought because this is not an acceptable solution to the shortage of spaces, teachers, and places. For this reason, we will vouch to asking for the abolition of numerus clausus. 

REFORM OF 60 CFU  (university credits)

The current reform of 60 CFU is a battle that finds national resonance. At the university level, what we ask for is the total free registration for courses. 

EVALUATION AND MERITOCRACY  

In this historical period, the university is based on an evaluation system that presents several problems, starting from the implementation of a meritocratic system. Meritocracy, as it’s currently based, favors those people who have the economic means and social privileges to dedicate themselves full-time to studies. The university, as it is, risks creating a gap between students who are privileged and students who are not and have to think about affording their studies, thus reducing for them the possibilities of growth that the university can and should provide indiscriminately to all. A solution could be to take into consideration the economic and social status of the individual among the various evaluation factors, with an intersectional and transfeminist perspective, which we carry forward in each of our proposals. 

STUDY ORIENTATION DESK  

We ask for the establishment of a study orientation desk that can provide help and information for incoming new students, to help them choose their study plan and various curricula, and outgoing for graduates. 

INTERNATIONALIZATION AND ERASMUS  

We request a revision of the selection procedures, giving more weight to motivations and language exams to make the Erasmus+ program truly accessible to all students. We want an expansion of the offers because they are lacking in some courses of study and an increase in the number of scholarships to make this experience accessible to everyone, according to their already presented ISEE certification. Furthermore, we will ask that the universities that are, or will be, involved in the Erasmus+ program to be scrutinized according to the standards of the Ethical Charter mentioned later. This is done to ensure that they do not support or promote, with extra activities and/or in teaching, the policies of the country of origin or third countries that go against respect for human rights or that have affiliations with companies that do not respect the criteria indicated for collaboration or the receipt of funding with our same university

INCLUSIVE UNIVERSITY 

STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES AND SLD (DSA)  

We believe that the services offered by the university should be improved to create more effective study conditions for students with Specific Learning Disabilities (SLD), ensuring their educational success. Therefore, we request guidelines and handbooks for students, screening questionnaires, and a SLD (DSA) consulting desk. We also request that the University provide scholarships for people with disabilities. 

PSYCHOLOGICAL WELL-BEING  

We believe that psychological well-being is a priority that the university often overlooks. Therefore, we want more commitment and the creation of a fund dedicated to psychological support open to everyone. We also believe that establishing agreements with external entities can make the psychological journey more comprehensive, which should not be limited to 10 sessions, as is currently the case with the counseling services. Finally, we ask the university for a complete list of the counseling centers in Milan where one can turn to independently if needed. 

ANTI-VIOLENCE CENTERS  

We request the opening of a university desk that serves as a listening point to intervene immediately in cases of discrimination and violence. It is also important that the University provides forms of support such as specific scholarships for female students who are exiting violence, so that the episodes they have suffered do not interrupt their studies due to suddenly changed economic conditions. 

NURSERIES  

University life should not be an impediment to family life and vice versa. For this reason, we believe university nurseries are essential, allowing student and worker parents to carry out their activities without sacrificing the care of their children. 

ALIAS CAREERS  

We believe that the system set up for activating the alias career is characterized by a strong gender binarization, which prevents nonbinary, agender, and all shades of the T umbrella from accessing and using the service. To be truly effective and inclusive, the alias career must be detached from the idea of gender transition, as it is the person who self-determines their gender, not their body or how they choose to appear. Therefore, we want the elimination of any reference to gender transition and sex, as well as requests for documents that attest to it: the gender transition should not be the center of the transgender identity, but the transgender person themselves. 

TAMPON BOX  

We believe it is the right of female students, teachers, and workers to have access to free sanitary pads and menstrual cups within the University. We consider it severely insufficient that only paid hygiene product dispensers have been installed, as such a measure is not a victory for gender equality. We will not settle for less with the rights of women who experience the University. 

STUDENT COMPONENT IN THE CUG (SGC)  

The single guarantee committee is an organ of our University established to promote equality. Currently, there are no student representatives (among the 12 members chosen from teachers and technicians, administrative and library staff, and 12 from the representatives of trade unions), so we ask that two student representatives be included in the body, appointed by the Student Conference. Furthermore, we ask that the Single Guarantee Committee promote training courses to promote gender equality within the University from a transfeminist perspective. 

ACCESSIBILITY, LANGUAGE, AND SPACES  

The presence of accessible bidets and sinks in bathrooms, along with the expansion of gender-neutral bathrooms, could improve accessibility and convenience for a variety of students. Finally, we request an improvement in the signage and indication of common areas such as cafeterias, bars, and bathrooms, to make them more efficient and easier to locate. 

SOCIAL ROLE OF THE UNIVERSITY 

TRANSFEMINISM 

We want our university, as a space traversed by students, to become, above all, a traversable space. To achieve this goal, it is necessary for it to be a space where transfeminist practices are used. Transfeminism as a value and as a practice is a cornerstone for us Studenti Indipendenti. We want to continue working by proposing constructive dialogue, meetings, and training. We want the University to help us in this process. Therefore, we ask that work continues for the university’s anti-violence center, through the hiring of expert and trained personnel so that it becomes a point of reference for all subjectivities. We ask for greater attention to violence through surveys and questionnaires for each department. We ask that training courses be organized for teachers and workers. Finally, we believe it is essential that the University shows attention to the days of November 25 and March 8, as moments of reflection and therefore of assessment and relaunch towards the future. 

ANTIFASCISM  

We want the University not to grant funding and space to organizations that do not explicitly declare to repudiate fascism; to urge the development of research and teaching capable of reflecting in parallel on historical fascism and the resurgence of extreme right-wing groups and new fascisms. Furthermore, we want to promote initiatives to disseminate information on these topics. Finally, we will continue to commit to supporting the Promemoria Auschwitz project, a journey into memory organized by the Deina association to know the past, understand the present, and imagine the future. Aware that antifascism must translate into everyday life against all forms of oppression, we commit ourselves to eliminate any agreement between our university and countries that implement policies of racial segregation, discrimination, ethnic/religious supremacism: we want the university to terminate every agreement with Israeli universities.  

ANTIMAFIA AND CORRUPTION  

We believe that the University, as a center of culture, has the social responsibility to openly stand against mafias. Therefore, we ask that the university firmly takes a standby certifying and ensuring that external entities with which internships are carried out have no kind of mafia connection. We also ask that the university proves to be an ally of the students in this fight by endorsing the national date of March 21 (national day in memory of the innocent victims of the mafias) and committing (as other educational institutions already do) to actively participate in the organization of other anniversaries such as May 23, the date on which the Capaci massacre is remembered. 

ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY  

Our University must be at the forefront in the fight against climate change and for this reason, we ask that: separate waste collection is carried out at every location, vegan and vegetarian options are provided every day in the canteen, the university periodically provides environmental reports about its impact and investments, that Unimi does not make agreements with large polluting multinationals (e.g., ENI), water dispensers are available at every location, the use of public transport and bicycles is encouraged, and by 2030 the University abandons all fossil fuels.  

COLLABORATIONS WITH EXTERNAL ENTITIES AND COMPANIES  

We also think it is necessary to have an Ethical Charter to sort out which companies to establish relationships with. We believe it is necessary for the university to draft a protocol to be respected by companies that provide funding, so that the money available to the University does not come from companies that exploit territories and people, that are involved in the war industry, and companies must also have an antimafia certification.  

o companies that exploit the environment  

o companies that have economic interests in countries that do not respect human rights 

UNIMI SERVICES 

IMPROVEMENT OF THE APP AND WEBSITE  

We want the Unimi app to not only be used for booking libraries and lessons but also to provide information about the services offered by our University and to have a dedicated space for information on taxes, scholarships, various deadlines, and a space dedicated to representation. We believe it is appropriate to completely review the web design of the Unimi site, which is difficult to consult for many. We believe that the services offered by our University are often poorly and badly advertised, such as the general practitioner for off-site people, so we ask that more information be made easily accessible to everyone on the website. 

INFIRMARY IN EVERY LOCATION 

 Currently, none of our University’s locations have an infirmary, so we ask that spaces dedicated to first aid be established at every location, in order to be able to face any emergency and guarantee the right to health for everyone. 

INTRODUCTION OF ELECTRICAL OUTLETS AT DESKS  

Given the increasing use of electronic devices in the educational environment, we believe it is consistent to offer the student community the possibility to use these means, by introducing electrical outlets in the classrooms of each location. 

INCREASE OF WATER DISPENSERS  

Given the endless queues at some dispensers, we intend to increase their number in all Unimi locations. 

ENHANCEMENT OF LIBRARY SERVICE  

We believe it is necessary to ensure that in the most frequented locations, such as those in Via Festa del Perdono and in Città Studi, at least one library remains open 24/7 and also on weekends.
