Some parts on this thread: 1/

[University Rebellion UvA @uvarebellion]

UvA cuts ties with Big Oil? Most likely not. The "new procedure" is basically what was done before ("only if the project is green"), but now there is a third party committee involved. Guess what? the advice of the committee is non-binding.

[University Rebellion UvA @uvarebellion]

The fight is not over! We will continue engaging in action and conversation, we'll see you soon!

You can read our full statement about the "new procedure" for collaborating with Big Oil at @amsautonomous website: https://t.co/57gph3JK55

Kom op zondag 18 juni naar de nationale demonstratie voor de rechten van vluchtelingen en migranten. We starten om 14:00 op de Dam in Amsterdam. Tot dan!

I'm a 3rd year fine art student and my final show has been censored by @NottmCollege.

Not because of nudity, offensive language, hate-speech or anything similar.

But because it contained criticism of the College.

For all the university administrators 📢📢

Do not shrug your shoulders and decide that this is just the way it is ⬇️

Recognize it, put yourself in this lecturer’s shoes as a 25-year old in a dead-end job, and then make (small) changes to improve it

Student Peter van University College Groningen doet aan ‘dumpsterdiving’: om voedselverspilling tegen te gaan snuffelt hij rond in vuilnis op zoek naar bruikbaar eten dat door supermarkten is weggegooid. ‘Het is een vorm van protest.’ https://t.co/knDVtYkqkH

[University Rebellion UvA @uvarebellion]

See you at 4 pm!

Both events will take place in the same room.

[Casual Leiden @CasualLeiden]

Unfortunately, we increasingly have to make a distinction between actual academic research and the university as a poor facilitator of this.

However, action groups want to change things for the better. Join them this afternoon👇

[amsterdam autonomous coalition (AAC) @amsautonomous]

@sumyamobder Thanks for your work! If we were to wait for the CvB, nothing good would come. We stand in solidarity with you and Regterschot!

[amsterdam autonomous coalition (AAC) @amsautonomous]

We are so fortunate to have students like this, who care and will do something for social justice. This is all DESPITE bureaucrats, managers, executive boards, who want to keep hierarchies and make sure rankings and image stay above people's needs, well-being and social justice.

[Casual Leiden @CasualLeiden]

Er is een doneeractie opgezet voor de docent Gert Regterschot die al 27 jaar onbetaald les geeft bij de @tu/e

Meer dan 18000 euro is er al opgehaald door de actie van de meelevende student👍

[PhDoc @PhDocUniv]

Is this true @tweetsunl?! If so, it's a real punch to the gut for temporary staff and those of us struggling to make ends meet.

More people leaving academia is the likely consequence. The strategy now seems to be "they can't strike if they don't work for us anymore..."

[Cristiana Strava @CStrava]

I was slated to moderate this event yesterday but with two hours before the starting time, and after security asked last minute to have everyone present pre-registered (surveillance much), the whole thing was canceled. 👇🏻this is why we need autonomous, democratic universities

[UKrant @ukrantgroningen]

‘Universities should work more closely with industries, which are the key players in society, and listen more to their customers.’ How depressing is this opening for what is meant to be a day that nurtures inspiration about education? https://t.co/b85DpAJdGY

[0.7 @0pointseven]

An outrage. Universities are not committed to fair labour agreements. They don't want to reduce flex, and refuse to compensate inflation. At this rate, many employees on universities will become working poor.

IF @tweetsunl does not agree to a fair CLA, 0.7 will escalate.

[EFO Utrecht @EFOUtrecht]

We will be there if you decide to escalate.

[Casual Leiden @CasualLeiden]

🚨🚨🚨

Remember me? @UniLeidenNews

Did you cancel the Israel-Palestina event AGAIN yesterday two hours in advance, while the Leiden D&I office booked the lecture hall on behalf of the students? Overpolicing much?

Statement of the students👇https://t.co/JY2Bx6DHaK

Outrageous!

[Casual Leiden @CasualLeiden]

Politie-ingrijpen in maart 2022 was al eerder een onderwerp van gesprek tussen de gemeente Eindhoven en TU/e 👇

"Toen heeft de rechter bepaald dat dit buitenproportioneel en onrechtmatig is geweest en de studenten in hun demonstratierecht moeten worden gefaciliteerd"

Hardleers?

[Casual Leiden @CasualLeiden]

1) Update on the 7th Collective Labour Agreement round

All is not well
➡️UNL is very hesitant with permanent contracts
➡️UNL has offered two low pay raises: either 6 or 7% with extra cash of 1200-700. The latter offer being lower.

A disgrace for low-income and flex👎

[TU/e Cursor @tuecursor]

NRC publiceerde 9 juni over Gert Regterschot, die al vele jaren op de campus van de TU/e onbezoldigd lessen verzorgt voor studenten. Daarop is masterstudente Sumya Mobder een doneeractie gestart. Die gaat al richting de zesduizend euro. https://t.co/Ep1vI0FmZB

[Sumya Mobder @sumyamobder]

Hallo allemaal. Ik ben Sumya Mobder, een van de studenten die geholpen is door Gert.

Ik ben een doneeractie begonnen om hem te helpen door deze moeilijke periode. Mocht u behoefte hebben om hem hierbij te helpen, dan kan dat via de volgende link:
