The latter. Tax cuts for companies and the rich are more important to them than things as health care, education, innovation and climate. Universities are seem as left. Furthermore they think that asylum seekers are the cause of many problems and they try to make their life as difficult as possible.

Moreover, universities are crucial for innovation: the buzzword that our current government inserts as a solution to any problem: nitrogen, climate, microchips, farming, energy, and what not. Innovation should solve it. How are they planning to do that if they tear down all sources of innovation?

"Healthy universities are crucial for a flourishing democracy. They promote critical thinking, independent research and informed debates, which are essential for an engaged society. The planned cuts threaten academic freedom, innovation and equal access to education." www.utoday.nl/opinion/7535...
Call UT professors: 'Strike with us!'
In an open letter, dozens of UT professors call for participation in the March 25 relay strike in Enschede. 'Stand up for knowledge, for students, and for the future of the University of Twente.'

Ja, dat had ik een tijdje eerder gelezen, dus ik dacht: heeft het kabinet zich nu bedacht? Maar nee, het nosartikel heeft geen update gehad...

But I hate to reject. And I can't understand why all these people with master's degrees cannot read a simple vacancy with care and attention - again: for this job much more care and attention is needed than for this simple application. So please, send me complete applications via the system.

difficult than this simple, short vacancy text and where details matter; and you will have to submit papers to journals with user-undfriendly systems and the list of requirements for submission will be orders of magnitude more difficult and incomprehensible. So: failed to submit everything? Reject.

Je wordt er waarschijnlijk al mee doodgegooid, maar ik denk zelf in zo'n situatie zelf altijd aan de mantra's "less is more" en "kill your darlings" (en ik kan niet klagen over wat het me heeft opgeleverd). Veel succes!

That's more like someone has tried many jobs/tasks but did not manage to succeed in any of them. The sheep with the five legs is for example someone who needs to do many different things as part of one profession (and may succeed in some or all of them).

Hoi! Ik heb de petitie ondertekend, maar ik krijg maar geen mail (ook niet in mijn spam). Heb het nog een keer ondertekend om er zeker van te zijn dat ik het goede mailadres heb ingevuld - ben nu 100% zeker dat het klopt - nog steeds geen mail... 't is een hotmail adres.

Nice!

In Dutch it is "het schaap met de vijf poten" - the sheep with the five legs".

There are many aspects to the job of an academic in which one can be kind. On our website we want to collect opinion pieces and research on those, accounts of kindness in academia, and offer inspiration and the possibility to contribute and endorse our views for a change ...

If we all propagate kindness, everyone in academia, from PhD students to full professors, can thrive and contribute to excellent scientific discoveries, teaching, leadership, and more. There is a lot of scientific research on how happy staff leads to better results in the workplace.

Er is een groot verschil tussen slecht kunnen spellen en dat je vinger net even per ongeluk op de naburige toets belandde ;)
