International Student Society Condemns German Authorities for Ignoring Discrimination Crimes in Educational Institutions

For Immediate Release.

The International Student Society (ISS) condemns the German authorities for their failure to address and rectify discrimination crimes within educational institutions. This statement comes in light of the recent case involving Abdelrahman Sami Abozeed Hussein, a student at EU Business School, who faced unjust dismissal in March 2023 following his protests against racism and discriminatory practices in the evaluation of his academic work.

Case background

Abdelrahman Sami Abozeed Hussein was dismissed from his studies at EU Business School in March 2023. This dismissal occurred after Hussein voiced strong objections to the biased and discriminatory evaluation of his academic papers. Despite presenting clear evidence of racial prejudice in the grading process, Hussein's concerns were disregarded, culminating in his expulsion from the institution.

ISS stance

The International Student Society stands firmly against all forms of discrimination and racism within educational environments. We believe that every student, regardless of their background, deserves fair and equal treatment in their academic pursuits. The actions taken against Hussein not only highlight systemic issues within EU Business School but also reflect a broader problem of neglect by the German authorities in addressing such grievances.

Call to action

The ISS calls upon German educational authorities and the government to:

1. 01Investigate the case thoroughly: Conduct a comprehensive investigation into the circumstances surrounding Hussein's dismissal, ensuring that justice is served.
2. 02Implement anti-discrimination measures: Introduce and enforce strict anti-discrimination policies across all educational institutions to prevent similar incidents in the future.
3. 03Support affected students: Provide support and resources for students who have experienced discrimination, ensuring they have a platform to voice their concerns and seek redress.

Statement from the ISS President

“Our organization is deeply troubled by the ongoing issues of discrimination in educational institutions. The case of Abdelrahman Sami Abozeed Hussein is a stark reminder of the work that still needs to be done to achieve equality and fairness in academia. We urge the German authorities to take immediate and decisive action to address these injustices and ensure that no student has to endure such treatment again.”
