Hyv�t suomalaiset sosiologian yst�v�t, Saksanmaalta kuuluu kummia. Berliiniss� sijaitsevan Freie Universit�tin sosiologian laitos on joutunut lakkauttamisuhan alle.
T�m�n viestin alla on Freien sosiologian professorin Martin Kohlin kansainv�liselle sosiologiyhteis�lle suuntaama vetoomus solidaarisuuden osoittamiseksi heid�n laitoksensa puolesta. K�yt�nn�ss� t�m�n voi tehd� allekirjoittamalla adressin joka l�ytyy sivuilta: http://www.phonem.net/sozio Jokainen suomalainenkin sosiologian opettaja tai opiskelija varmasti ymm�rt�� mit� kaikkea se tarkoittaa jos laitoksen viranhaltijoiden m��r� leikataan kuudesta yhteen.
