We are providing economic and social services for students in order to make sure that you succeed in your studies! As a solidarity contribution to finance the service offers for stu- dents by Studentenwerk Leipzig, every student pays a semester fee to the Studentenwerk. The amount and use are stated in the regulations on the semester contribution (see page 124). Studentenwerk Leipzig also receives subsidies provided by the Free State of Saxony. The majority of the Studentenwerk Leipzig financing is paid by revenues generated from student restaurants, cafeterias and student halls of residence. The basic principle of solidarity: The semester fees for Studentenwerk Leipzig as well as the contribution to the semester ticket are imposed according to the principle of solidarity. All students liable to contributions thus make their solidarity contribution every semester for the general possibility of making use of services offered — irre- spective of whether and to what extent the individual student actually uses the offered services. STUDENTENWERK 9 As the entire community of all students makes this solidarity contribution, the services offered by Studentenwerk can be used for free or for a low fee. In this way, the community of students benefits jointly and such students in particular who strongly depend on the ser- vices, e.g. students in social need with a lower budget, stu- dents with children, or impaired students. The principle is that social support services are financed joint- ly by the community. The social idea and solidarity with mem- bers of the community who require social support are more important than the fair sharing of contributions and benefits in individual cases.

All students enrolled at the higher education institutions associated with Studentenwerk Leipzig (see page 10) can apply for a room in a student hall of residence. The size, the rent and the fur- nishings vary. The predominant type of housing is shared flats with single rooms for two, three or up to six students. In addition, the res- idences have a limited number of single apartments. Living at a student hall of residence offers many advantages: it is easy to make contact with other students, the all-inclusive rents are reasonably priced compared with rents for accomo- dation on the city’s housing market and the student halls are very close to public transport stops. There are also special rooms available for students with child(ren) and for students with disabilities. 16 STUDENT HALLS OF RESIDENCE ALL-INCLUSIVE RENTS Studentenwerk Leipzig’s student hall of residence rents are all-inclusive rents that include all utilities such as heating, water, electricity, domestic waste disposal, furnishings, ca- ble / SAT television, internet access, use of common rooms and caretaker service on site. There are no additional payments for utilities! The security deposit amounts to 300 €. EQUIPMENT The rooms are furnished with a bed, desk, chair, wardrobe (partly with top box), and shelving. At the student hall of res- idence Studentenwohnheim Mainzer Straße 2a you can also rent unfurnished rooms. Each room has internet access as well as connectors for ca- ble / SAT television. However, you have to pay the relevant li- cense fee (Rund funkbeitrag) yourself. Laundry rooms (washing/drying for a small fee) and bicycle parking spaces are available in all student halls of residence. Most student halls also have party kitchens, sports rooms, music rehearsal rooms and car parking spaces. Five of our halls have their own student club.

  • Special Education and the Risk of Becoming Less Educated in Germany and the United States* by Justin J
    Center for European Studies Program for the Study of Germany and Europe Working Paper No. 05.1 Special Education and the Risk of Becoming * Less Educated in Germany and the United States by Justin J. W. Powell Postdoctoral Research Fellow Max-Planck-Institut für Bildungsforschung Lentzeallee 94 | D-14195 Berlin, Germany [email protected] Abstract Over the twentieth century, a growing group of students has been transferred into considerably expanded special education systems. These programs serve children with diagnosed impairments and disabilities and students with a variety of learning difficulties. Children and youth “with special educational needs” constitute a heterogeneous group with social, ethnic, linguistic, and physical disadvantages. An increasingly large percentage of those students at risk of leaving school without credentials participate in special education, a highly legitimated low status (and stigmatizing) school form. While most countries commit themselves to school integration or inclusive education to replace segregated schools and separate classes, cross-national and regional comparisons of special education’s diverse student bodies show considerable disparities in their (1) rates of classification, (2) provided learning opportunities, and (3) educational attainments. Analyzing special education demographics and organizational structures indicates which children and youth are most likely to grow up less educated and how educational systems distribute educational success and failure. Findings from a German-American comparison show that which students bear the greatest risk of becoming less educated depends largely on definitions of “special educational needs” and the institutionalization of special education systems. Keywords: special education, institutionalization, learning opportunity, segregation, integration, inclusion, educational attainment, Germany, United States.

  • IASAS Chartering July 25, 2013 Brussels, Belgium
    IASAS Chartering July 25, 2013 Brussels, Belgium Dear IASAS Board and Members: What a glorious day! The celebration of securing a charter for the International Association of Student Affairs and Services (IASAS) as a legal entity in Belgium. Since my first vision in 1994 of creating such a global association, a great deal has happened to bring us to this important moment in the history of student affairs and services. And there are a lot of people who helped us get where we are today. In the days before 1993, little was known about the world of student affairs. The Asia Pacific Student Services Association (APSSA) was formed and carried out conferences in the late 1980s.There were regular meetings of the French and German student services practitioners including a biannual conference that was hosted by each country in alternating years. In 1993 I visited Germany as a part of a Fulbright delegation and it was there that I learned of Duetsches Studentenwerk or DSW, the German Student Affairs association. The following year I spoke at the Franco-Allemand student services meeting held in Bordeaux, France. It was there I met the leaders of the two student services groups (Bachmann of DSW and Valli of the Centre National des Oeuvres Universitaires et Scolaires (CNOUS) and their assistants, Schafferbartold and Cabo respectively. Rudolph Poertner of Germany was also very helpful during the early years. It was these meetings that led in 1995 and 1996 to the first exchanges between Europe and NASPA of the United States. Jon Dalton was President of NASPA at the time and was instrumental in supporting the globalization of student affairs in so many ways.

    EUROPEAN STUDENT ACCOMMODATION GUIDE 2019 CONTENTS Welcome 1 Key Themes 3 Educational Landscape 5 Customer Focus 11 Wellbeing 15 Operator Models 19 European Investment Market Summary 23 France 27 Germany 28 Italy 29 Ireland 30 The Netherlands 31 Poland 32 Portugal 33 Spain 34 Sweden 35 WELCOME 2019 The expansion of the global purpose built student accommodation (PBSA) sector continued to gain momentum into 2019, against a back drop of political uncertainty and concerns about global economic cycles reaching a peak. It has been said more and more in recent times that student accommodation and the ‘alternative’ real estate sector were moving out of the shadows. What is evident is that these sectors and in particular PBSA are now mainstream global real estate investment asset classes. The global supply and demand dynamics underpinning the sector are long term and resilient. These are driven by increasing urbanisation, rising levels of social and global mobility, as well as a growing appetite for higher education, driven in part by the continued rise of the middle classes across regions such as India, Asia and western Africa. The PBSA sector continues to be dynamic and adaptable. With demand for beds being driven by basic human need, the sector fundamentals provide a strong level of resilience to wider global economic and political headwinds. In different countries, how these beds are delivered and operated will depend on demand and supply dynamics, as well as cultural nuances, giving rise to different types of operational models across the European and global landscape. With increasing capital allocations to ‘bed backed’ real estate sectors, student accommodation continues to attract a growing and diverse pool of international capital, contributing further to the evolution of the sector.
