As the central body of the university’s self-administration, the Senate of Technische Universit\u00e4t Braunschweig<\/a> takes the public perception of our university very seriously. We consider distorted reporting to be problematic, especially when, as in the 20 November 2025 article in the Braunschweiger Zeitung, key statements are based on anonymous sources and unsubstantiated claims.<\/p>\n

The Senate works together with the Executive Board to shape the course of the university, adopting a critical and constructive approach based on democratic procedures. In doing so, we collaborate closely with the President, Professor Angela Ittel, and the entire Executive Board. We make decisions carefully and always for the benefit of the entire university community. As senators, we are in constant dialogue with the entire university community.<\/p>\n

Such misleading representations damage public perception of TU Braunschweig, hinder scientific work, and jeopardise trust in our institution.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
