The advisory committee of the Nisseno University Consortium is born amid controversy. The Cgil: "There are only men"

The territorial advisory technical committee of the University Consortium of Caltanissetta is being established, and controversy arises immediately. The general secretary of the Cgil, Rosanna Moncada, contests the failure to respect the "gender quotas."
But let's proceed in order. The new members of the Committee, appointed by the members of the University Consortium (Municipality of Caltanissetta, Free Consortium of Municipalities, Chamber of Commerce, Asp, and Cefpas) are Dr. Giovanni Ciaccio, Architect Andrea Maria Milazzo, Dr. Carlo Sorbetto, Lawyer Manlio Sortino, and Dr. Attilio Ristagno. The president of the Board of Directors, Gianluca Tumminelli, and councilors Alessandro Maira and Francesco Marra hosted the meeting.
The Committee unanimously elected Dr. Giovanni Ciaccio as president and then proceeded to plan activities that will be carried out in collaboration with the same administrators of the University Consortium, working in coordination with student representatives and members, "in order to make the educational offerings and services for students increasingly adequate, and to increasingly identify the city of Caltanissetta as an essential hub of Sicilian higher academic education," reads a statement.

However, shortly thereafter, the secretary of the Cgil of Caltanissetta, Rosanna Moncada, intervened, calling it "unacceptable that in 2026 we still find ourselves commenting on the establishment of decision-making bodies entirely composed of men: gender diversity - the unionist adds - is not an option and not even a constitutional courtesy exercise, but a cornerstone principle that should guide the construction of any public entity, especially if linked to education and the future of new generations."
"The absence of women in the territorial advisory technical committee of the University Consortium of Caltanissetta, welcomed by the Board of Directors (which is also entirely male) - continues Rosanna Moncada - results in the lack of that diversity of perspective essential to tackle the complex challenges necessary for a university hub. What message do we send to female and male students? We cannot speak of development or innovation if the foundations on which these institutions rest systematically exclude merit and female professionalism."
And she concludes: "A monochrome governance is a shortsighted governance without a future."
