Bologna and Rome from 110 universities and praise!
In one in five students remain parked in college without being able to accumulate in a year even 5 credits, the minimum to record his active presence among courses and exams. The baptism of fire academia, then, is a tragedy for many, given that less than 35% of former students out of the pocket in the first year with at least two-thirds of the credits needed to remain in the right time.

They are just two of the data emerging from the x-ray of the State universities, developed in recent months by the Ministry 'universities to allocate 523.4 million in to the merits of funding provided in the bottom 2009, a few days ago arrived at its destination. After the ministerial rankings widespread in July, which had ignited the controversy between the rulers but actually mixed performance indicators associated with those increases stipendiali and other factors, the actual data on which they were corrected and refined with the universities, which are just been made available.

The tables below and you will have the results 'ministerial analysis, with all nine parameters used for the distribution of and the general list that summarizes the findings on teaching and research. The criteria used for the general classification, it must be said, encourages universities bigger, that overall funding levels obviously get more. The comparison, however, is easy to identify the poles more targeted research and those more bent on teaching alone, according to the position in both rankings. La Sapienza di Roma (7.16% of the on research, and 5.7% in education) may be included in the first group, while the University of Turin in the second part.

The package strongest (345.5 million) was directed according to the results of research, who want above all La Sapienza of Rome, the Alma Mater of Bologna and the University of Milan. It is measured by the proportion of funds obtained through the successes 'university in the ratings of the evaluation committee of the research (which, however, date back to 2001/2003), in notices of national interests and those of the sixth Framework Program EU'. Politecnico di Milano excels in Europe while Rome's Sapienza wins in and the assessments based on the number of patents stands Ferrara.

On the other side of teaching (he has put at stake 177.9 million) data are all updated to 2008, and premiums are more important than those obtained from Bologna, followed by the wisdom and Federico II of Naples. In the analysis of these results must consider that option as engineering are typically characterized by a "loyalty" the most outstanding students, and thus help to improve the performance of the universities where they are majority. Among the polytechnics, one in Milan ( "gold medal" in the last academic quality rankings, published on Il Sole 24 Ore, 13 July) comes out with a wide victory by comparison with competitors, who sees to the last place the Politecnico di Bari

With very few exceptions, moreover, the parameters on the teaching crowding in the lower parts of the table the Center-South. To sink Catanzaro, who closed the ranking is in particular the low number of professors in the basic materials and characterize, which remains under half the national average and an educational initiative demonstrates hypertrophic compared to teaching, and a very low number of subjects for whom the University has noted the views of students. At Viterbo, Palermo and Sassari, however, it is striking that most '85% of students fails to land his second year with at least 2 / 3 of the credits. Just a matter like this could concentrate the forthcoming ministerial in search of 'unnecessary courses, "which should be measured not only by the number of members but also to their educational success (as well as coverage by full professors).

In the first year of the fund for the substance, this rain indicators resulted in minimal differences in the total reality "collections" of the individual universities to net of odds for the universities themselves have fueled the fund, the actual premiums have not passed The 60-70 million.

To translate the mechanism should increase the real place, and the Gelmini decree promising to overcome in the next two years, two billion euros. First, however, it is to untie the knot of the cuts scheduled for 2010, even the rectors have been appended to the long line of aspiring to a share of the income tax shelter, and everything depends on the priority which decides to give the ministry 'Economics.
