Consilium abeundi
The consilium abeundi (abbreviated ca , literally: “the advice to go away”, from the Latin consilium “advice” and abire “to go away”) is originally a term from the academic jurisdiction of the universities of the 18th and 19th centuries. As a punishment for students, this meant expulsion from the university and an invitation to leave the city; this could also refer to a defined ban mile outside the city area. Depending on the university constitution, the ca had to be complied with within one to three days. At the same time, academic citizenship was suspended. After a fixed penalty period, it was possible to re- enroll at some universities ; in principle, a student with approx. Approx . Was allowed to enroll at another university at any time.
The consilium abeundi stood in the severity of the punishment between a prison sentence and the relegation , i.e. the final removal from the university without the possibility of being able to re-enroll at another university. The ca could also be pronounced in a milder form, according to which the student concerned would only be excluded in the event of further misconduct. A ca was imposed by the university court , the senate or the rectorate and had to be recognized by the student with a signature. Before the university courts were established, the penalties were always decided by the senate or the assembly ( consilium, council ) of all full professors; From these penalties decided in the assembly, the concept of the consilium developed as a punitive measure. Historical descriptions of the Consilium speak of a “task or order from the Senate to leave the university at once. This is a par force given run pass. [...] Once you have knocked the consil down [= signed], you are almost out of town with one leg. ”Vollmann describes this around 1846 as a“ wave to deport ”or a“ farewell dance ”.
The verb consilieren , which means the imposition of a ca, was derived from the ca; the punished was the consiliate . The consilium abeundi was also common in grammar schools in the 19th and 20th centuries .
