Although the University manages one of the greatest art collection inthe country, the recent theft of two lithographies shows that security is inadequate. Only staff and master students have access to the room in question, and the matter has been reported to the police. Ulla Ulberg, who has been in charge of the University’s art collection since the autumn, is working to update the security plan for art at the University. She notes that the balance between security and accessibility is a fine one. The University’s database lists 1,100 works of art, but it is likely that there are more than 2,000 works of art in 100 buildings.

A recent survey has come up with surprising findings: people below 30 are largely satisfied with the current level of student funding, which is below NOK 80,000. People below 30 are more satisfied than the thirty–plus, who believe that funding should be increased to at least NOK 100,000. On the whole, the results provide few clear answers as to popular perception of student needs, although there seems to be a general consensus that less than NOK 60,000 is not enough for students to live on.
