TO: Representatives of Member Institutions
FROM: The President
RE: Draft of Profumo Reform Bill
Dear Colleagues,
Through the kind courtesy of a colleague, a draft of a Reform Bill
circulated to interested parties (not to us!) by Minister Prof. Francesco
Profumo, Ministro dell’Istruzione, dell’Università e della Ricerca
(Minister of Instruction, Universities and Research), has reached our
attention. The draft of the full bill can be found on www.dariobraga.it/
web/uploads/MIUR/DdLProfumo.pdf). A copy of Article 13 in both
Italian and in English (our translation) are attached for your study.
Also attached are an introduction with comments both in Italian and
English. As you will note, the draft would seriously restrict and
penalize AACUPI programs.
First, the new rules would limit the course offerings of foreign
universities to subjects relating exclusively to the literary, judicial,
artistic, monumental or archeological patrimony of Italy through direct
contact with it. It is not clear why other disciplines should be
prohibited that are already being taught in our programs here:
architecture, marketing and business, communications, fashion and
industrial design, environmental studies, theology, philosophy,
political science and international relations, to name a few. No
explanation is given in the draft for how this restriction would be
applied.
Another restriction is clearly defined in that only students previously
enrolled for a twelve-month period in the same institution offering
study in Italy would be allowed to follow the program here. Why
twelve months? Six? Nine? No freshmen, then, or students from
institutions not themselves involved in study abroad in Italy? What
creative regulations could possibly be invented to enforce this law if
passed? None is mentioned.

Further restrictive measures are proposed in putting our teaching
personnel and course proposals under the supervision of the Agenzia
Nazionale di Valutazione del sistema Universitario e della Ricerca
(National Agency for the Evaluation of Universities and Institutes)
www.anvur.org. Inexplicably, the draft seems to totally ignore the
recently-passed Fornero Reform.
No mention is made of the Barile Law which currently officially
recognizes most long-standing AACUPI programs.
It is unclear why Minister Profumo would opt to discourage our
presence by establishing these regulations and push us into the
welcoming arms of other nations. Why would Italy want to lose an
economic reality which has been in constant academic, cultural and
social growth for the past forty years? What motivates this action?
Colleagues, we need to act in unison immediately to block this
initiative before the draft becomes a bill and quickly gets voted into
law as is customary with this Monti government. We will need to plan
a concerted effort on both sides of the Atlantic to make our points.
Please contact me as soon as possible if you are willing to work on a
committee on this matter.
