The Council further specified the mission and tasks of the university consortia. such as UniOlbia, recalling previous resolutions. In particular, he cited the resolution of the regional council of 1 December 2023, number 41/28, in which it is written that “with reference to the operating charges of the Consortia,... These individuals support the Academics in the implementation of the decentralized study courses, performing a strategic function necessary for the implementation of tertiary training in service of the development of their territories.
“Therefore, the allocations intended by the Regional Council, within the limitations of what has been allocated and assigned by the Regional Council, must be used to guarantee the operation of the off-centre university offices and the implementation of adequate services for students, including the activities supporting the Athenaeums in the performance of their institutional and educational activities” is always written in the resolution.
“In this context, the Consortia are confirmed to be recognized with the expenses for their promotion, those for general faculty assistance services, those for student assistance, such as classroom tutors and laboratory tutors, as well as expenses related to activities relating to the connection with the universities and their administrative and educational facilities” is another step of the resolution.
With the phrase “strategic function” of the consortia, the Council of Portas clarified that “it must undoubtedly be understood as such for all activities relating to the exercise of the collaboration role performed by the Consortia in the local management of university courses activated by the two Sardinia universities, but that regional funding of further activities that are outside the scope of the so-called universities that are decentralized and/or may overlap with those of universities in the field of education.”
