Faculty Body - TU panel to give their thoughts on the President by 5 pm.
During Wednesday's committee meeting, a verdict on the matter remained undecided. Instead, they asked the president to make the final decision.
Committee head Annette Hiller expressed the opinion of the Academic Senate on Wednesday: "The Senate strongly believes that Mrs. Rauch is not an antisemite and condemns the harsh, personal media persecution targeted against her. At the same time, the Senate acknowledges that she has made a significant mistake."
Subsequently, Rauch presented herself at the meeting with a look of remorse, offered a sincere apology, and highlighted her regret for her actions. She had requested a disciplinary process to be initiated against herself at the science administration. Furthermore, she vowed to hold consultation hours for Jewish students and mentioned plans to establish a counseling center for victims of antisemitism.
