Uni Bozen, where art thou? I was asked by dear friends with the South-Tyrolean Students Association to write a short commentary on the Free University of Bolzano. I readily accepted, because I think it is important to have an outsiders view, especially in a place like South Tyrol where the horizons are rather narrow, steep mountain flanks influence the landscape so much that this narrowness in space also translates in narrowness of mind, which in turn produces apartheid-like ethnical

segregation and language based racism. During the couple of years I lived in South Tyrol I was convinced that all this segregation, the institutionalized credo of “keeping well distinct and neatly separated” - known to bureaucrats as Proporzregelung - eventually would be overthrown by the times that are a-changing. The University of Bolzano with its three official languages, the declared goal to appeal to professors and students from all over the world, the claim to be independent of politics - mind you

, I hold it that politics screwed up a big deal in South Tyrol, despite the opposite claims obviously by politicians - led me to believe that the Free Univeristy of Bolzano would be the beacon that would lead the country to a better post-ethnical-divide, open minded, world- oriented future. After all, University means exchange of ideas, influx of new people with fresh minds, a higher likelihood of paradigmatic change in all things politics and social, and eventually a University in Bolzano would have

worked against the dangerous brain-drain that lead many South Tyroleans to study abroad and turn their backs to their home country, because as an academic except from working for the local government there was no perspective whatsoever in South Tyrol. Yet so much for all the dreams and hopes for change that the Free University of Bolzano would bring about - the university is hardly visible and hardly effective in bringing about change. Living and studying and working in Vienna (Austria) I lost

contact with most of my South Tyrolean friends. I just occasionally meet some folks from back in high school, the only real connection to South Tyrol is the sh-asus. And at one of their social mixers I met a recent graduate from the University of Bolzano. My hopes and dreams regarding the change that the university would bring about where shattered during the rather short and admittedly half drunk conversation I had with her. I thought her former university and the life as a student in Bolzano would
