Over 140 teaching staff from the University of Bucharest have announced the initiation of a Japanese-style strike in response to the management's decision to abolish 11 undergraduate and master's programs deemed 'unsustainable'. The professors criticize this measure, arguing that it affects access to education and opportunities for students interested in less popular fields such as ethics, theology, and Romanian culture. The university management justifies the elimination of the programs based on indicators such as low enrollment rates and high dropout rates, setting a threshold of 66% for their maintenance. The professors believe that the responsibility for attracting students lies with the university, not the eliminated programs, and threaten legal action.
