Termination of institutional funding for the Abraham Geiger Kolleg

Summary

Original text of the question(s):<br /> <br /> When was the Abraham Geiger Kolleg sent an appealable decision to terminate institutional funding from the federal budget, and on the basis of which decision was the institutional funding terminated?<br /> <br /> Is the reason for the funding objection in the passage in the Federal Government's answer to my written question 41 Bundestag printed matter 21/1089 ("the purpose of the grant [can] no longer be fulfilled [...]. In this respect it was a complaint under funding law.") an apparently non-existent right of ordination of the Abraham Geiger Kolleg (AGK), and if so, is the federal government aware that the World Union for Progressive Judaism and the Central Conference of American Rabbis continue to grant the right of ordination to the AGK, or does it exist other reasons for the “objections to funding law”?<br /> <br /> To the knowledge of the federal government, does the Nathan Peter Levinson Foundation (NPLS) have the right to ordination for liberal Judaism in Germany, and if not, how does the federal government want to ensure that the training in liberal Judaism of the NPLS in Germany is also recognized by a liberal denomination and is not a waste of budget resources takes place because with the training of the NPLS, no rabbinate or cantorate can be exercised in a community that belongs to the Union of Progressive Jews in Germany or the World Union for Progressive Judaism without being called by a denomination?<br /> <br /> What consequences with regard to the financial resources of liberal Jewry in Germany is the Federal Government drawing from the key decision of the Second Senate of the Federal Republic of Germany? Federal Constitutional Court (BVerfGE 123, 148 ff.), which states that the state may not bring a religious society into a relationship of dependence on another religious society, and from the federal government's perspective, how can this decision be reconciled with the removal of financial resources for the Abraham Geiger Kolleg in the 2025 federal budget draft and the transfer of these same funds to the Nathan Peter Levinson Foundation?
