Editing Jagiellonian University (section)

===Modern era and renovation===
On 6 November 1939, following the [[German invasion of Poland]], 184 professors were arrested and deported to [[Sachsenhausen concentration camp]] during an operation codenamed ''[[Sonderaktion Krakau]]'' (Special Operation Krakow). The university, along with the rest of Poland's higher and secondary education, was closed for the remainder of [[World War II]].<ref name="pp2bio">{{cite book |last=Weigel |first=George |title=Witness of Hope – The Biography of Pope John Paul II |publisher=HarperCollins |year=2001 |isbn=978-0-06-018793-4 |url-access=registration |url=https://archive.org/details/witnesstohopebio00weig }}</ref> Despite the university's reopening after the cessation of hostilities in 1945, the new government of Poland was hostile to the teachings of the pre-war university and the faculty was suppressed by the [[Communist Poland|Communists]] in 1954.<ref name="pp2bio"/> By 1957 the Polish government decided that it would invest in the establishment of new facilities near [[Jordan Park]] and expansion of other smaller existing facilities. Construction work proved slow and many of the stated goals were never achieved; it was this poor management that eventually led a number of scholars to openly criticise the government for its apparent lack of interest in educational development and disregard for the university's future. A number of new buildings, such as the ''Collegium Paderevianum'', were built with funds from the legacy of [[Ignacy Jan Paderewski|Ignacy Paderewski]].

By 1989, Poland had overthrown its Communist government. In that same year, the Jagiellonian University successfully completed the purchase of its first building plot in [[Pychowice]], Kraków, where, from 2000, construction began of a new complex of university buildings, the so-called Third Campus. The new campus, officially named the '600th Anniversary Campus', was developed in conjunction with the new LifeScience Park, which is managed by the Jagiellonian Centre for Innovation, the university's research consortium.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.uj.edu.pl/en/rozwoj/kampus |title=Campus of the Sixcentenary |access-date=12 May 2011 |archive-date=15 May 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110515180308/http://www.uj.edu.pl/en/rozwoj/kampus |url-status=live }}</ref> Public funds earmarked for the project amounted to 946.5&nbsp;million [[Polish zloty|zloty]]s, or 240&nbsp;million [[euro]]s.<ref name=ThirdCampus>{{cite web |url=http://www.kampus.uj.edu.pl/ |title=Campus of the Sixcentenary |access-date=28 September 2010 |archive-date=22 July 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110722091426/http://www.kampus.uj.edu.pl/ |url-status=live }}</ref> Poland's entry into the [[European Union]] in 2004 has proved instrumental in improving the fortunes of the Jagiellonian University, which has seen huge increases in funding from both central government and European authorities, allowing it to develop new departments, research centres, and better support the work of its students and academics.
