This is where people want the university to be
A decision on the future of Högskolan Kristianstad is expected on 20th October, when the executive committee of the university will reveal where the university will be placed in future.
Three possibilities are under discussion: the site beside the new legal centre in Kristianstad, a move to central Hässleholm near the station, or the present site at Näsby.
In the middle of August, at the initiative of Kb/NSk, Ipsos carried out a local opinion poll in the municipalities of Kristianstad, Hässleholm and Östra Göinge.The poll posed the question 'In which municipality do you think the university should be placed?'
The result was as follows:
• Nine out of ten people in Kristianstad want the university to remain in Kristianstad
• In Hässleholm almost every second person wants the university to move to Hässleholm, while four out of ten think it should remain in Kristianstad
• In Östra Göinge three out of four want it to be in Kristianstad, while one in twelve want it to be in Hässleholm.
