NRW Minister of Culture and Science Isabel Pfeiffer-Poensgen has spoken out in favor of continuing the online semester at the state’s universities, thus expressly supporting the universities’ decision. “The universities in North Rhine-Westphalia have really done an excellent job in making a wide range of online courses available to students under the difficult conditions of COVID-19. It is impressive how quickly and flexibly the universities have accepted and mastered the challenges of the complete switch to the online semester. Since the new formats have been well received by students and lecturers alike, I welcome the decision to end the summer semester as an online semester,” says Pfeiffer-Poensgen in a statement from the Ministry of Culture and Science. In order to support the universities in meeting the challenges of solely online teaching, the Ministry of Culture and Science is not only providing universities with immediate financial aid for digitization in teaching and studies amounting to 20 million euros, but also with the necessary legal regulations for university operations under the conditions resulting from corona, the Ministry continues.
