Cfr de student/staff ratio. Bij #kuleuven is die ongeveer 40:1. Bij de zogenaamde ‘top’universiteiten (ook in Europa) zit die eerder rond 10 Tot 15:1

Ik heb de evaluaties van de #studenten over mijn vakken van vorig #academiejaar terug. Opmerking in het vrije tekstveld die een aantal maal terugkwam (en dit voor het eerst na 25 jaar lesgeven): "Prof is streng voor studenten die te laat komen, dit schept een licht toxische sfeer." #kuleuven

ja dat is ad KULeuven ook zo maar dat is dus blijkbaar niet voldoende om sollicitatieprocedures objectief te laten verlopen, bij onze faculteit aan de VUB mogen promotoren nog altijd zetelen en meebeslissen over hun phd studenten in sollicitatiecommissies…

Bij Kuleuven ook. Prof onmiddellijk na doctoraat is een no-go. Er zijn altijd uitzonderingen afhankelijk van ongewone situatie, maar doorgaans komen dergelijke dossiers zelfs niet op de shortlist.

In the COVID-19 Omicron surge, #KULeuven combined contact tracing with sequencing.

Only 1/3 of contacts shared the same strain 🤯, so most people misperceived where they got infected.

@thibaut-jonathan.bsky.social and team show how to assess contact tracing accuracy in the future!

what bugs me is the “we have to embrace AI” discourse and policy without any ethical reflections, the new rector of the KULeuven used this in her election campaign as well and believes it is the magical solution to academics being overworked
