WOinActie is gematigd positief over de aangenomen motie waardoor de Toets Anderstalig Onderwijs (TAO) van tafel is. Wij zijn verheugd dat de TAO wordt geschrapt: hierdoor is het voortbestaan van veel Engelstalige opleidingen gewaarborgd en wordt de universiteiten nodeloze bureaucratie bespaard. 1/

Strike in Amsterdam June 10!

The Dutch cabinet may have fallen, but the future of higher education in the Netherlands is still uncertain. We need to let the caretaker government and all the political parties know that the recently adopted budget with its drastic cuts to higher ed cannot stand...

The KNAW has issued a stark warning: academic freedom is at risk in the Netherlands due to increasing political interference in research and education. The planned budget cuts are part of a broader attack on higher education. We must stand firm in rejecting the erosion of academic autonomy.
Academische vrijheid staat onder druk en moet beter worden beschermd. Die conclusie lees je vandaag in dit KNAW-rapport: www.knaw.nl/nieuws/knaw-... Aanbevelingen o.m.: meer vrijheid van onderzoek, bescherming tegen intimidatie en minder inhoudelijke overheidsbemoeienis.

Yesterday, on May 4, 2025, Minister Eppo Bruins gave a moving speech during Remembrance Day at Kamp Amersfoort. He reminded us that “commemoration is fighting against indifference.” He spoke of the “soft forces” of society—education, research, and cultural imagination...

🟥 CALL FOR A NATIONAL STRIKE - June 10 🟥

A week ago, we stood together on the Vrijthof to defend our universities.

1,500 strong at the Vrijthof! As Janosch Prinz powerfully articulated: "Today we witnessed remarkable solidarity across our entire academic community. Students, scientific and support staff stood shoulder to shoulder, sending an unmistakable message to The Hague."

"Scientists and support staff stood united today in Maastricht. No critical thinking without practical strength." ✊

We don't just need universities to train doctors and engineers... We also need humanists, to help us to understand the world we live in. I am striking because we need to educate the next generation of teachers, journalists, and opinion makers.
