Compulsory use of Danish at universities?

The Danish newspaper Berlinske Tidende reflects on the merits of passing a law making Danish the compulsory language at universities. Such a law is intended to prevent English from taking over entirely, the paper writes: "We must not forget in the debate pitting Danish and English against each other that other major languages such as French and German, with which we have traditionally had close ties, are limping far behind. It should be left up to the universities to choose which language they use to remain internationally competitive. Danish will not be threatened by that."
