Protests at Maastricht University - Update 11
UM is still in dialogue with the protesting students that are involved in today's occupation of the FASoS building. The aim is and remains 'de-escalation', and the safety of everyone involved comes first.

We hope to be able to provide clarity today as to whether this will succeed. Once we know more, we will inform you with a new update.
