Confidential and Online University Council Meeting

Protests at Maastricht University - Update 6

A public meeting of the Executive Board and the University Council was one of the agreements made last Monday between the Chair of the Executive Board, in the presence of the Chair of the University Council, and the protesters in the 'Rafah-Garden' at the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences (FASoS).

The situation has since fundamentally changed: the pressure from various groups within society to either take or not take steps is significant. This brings not only fundamental societal discussions but also concerns regarding safety. To allow the University Council and the Executive Board to engage in a careful and secure discussion, it has been decided to hold the specially convened meeting in a confidential setting (and online).

The purpose of the University Council meeting is to arrive at a preliminary reflection regarding UM's institutional collaborations with institutions in conflict areas.
