These services include finance, administration, human resources, IT, security and construction.'

TU Delft will join the relay strike on 24 April!

🟥

We are protesting the announced budget cuts of 1.2 billion euros on higher education in the Netherlands. This means that we have to cut about 10-20% of our budget.

Please join us in letting Eppo Bruins know that these budget cuts are unacceptable!

Acc/to another informed source of #AFP, "hate & conspiracy messages" were blamed on the French researcher by #US authorities. An #FBI investigation into him was announced, for which "the charges have been abandoned," continues this source.

…This incident comes as… #Trump has increased his shocking announcements targeting the #scientific community (brutal #BudgetCuts, #censorship of certain subjects in subsidized research...).

UK - Under-22s to be excluded from #incapacity benefits

by Mitchell Labiak, March 18, 2025

Excerpt:

'Trapped out of work'

"The reforms come as part of a wider push by Labour to cut spending by reducing the number of people on incapacity benefits, which is forecast to reach a record high by the end of the decade.

"Experts say the increase is due to a combination of worse #MentalHealth since the #pandemic and a higher retirement age meaning some are instead claiming incapacity benefits.

"#Starmer said he is 'not prepared to stand back and do nothing while millions of people – especially young people – who have potential to work and live independent lives, instead become trapped out of work and abandoned by the system'.

"However, #DisabilityRightsUK said that barring under-22s from claiming the health element of universal credit alongside the proposal to increase assessments 'mark dangerous cuts for all #disabled people'.

"The charity added that the package of reforms was 'not about supporting disabled people into work, but making brutal and reckless cuts'."

Today employees of the #UniversityofAmsterdam #UvA are on #strike to protest against the budget cuts for education that are pushed by our far right government.

Universities are a place of wonder, curiosity and resistance.

This world is in desperate need of all of these things.

Update: there were 5000 of us today. And a student and I even made it to the main newspaper pic. 💅

#AlinaHabba, counselor to President #DonaldTrump, on Tuesday fielded a question on #BudgetCuts impacting #veterans and their jobs—and her response was not met kindly on #SocialMedia, as one #Democratic U.S. representative called Habba's stance "pathetic."

Tomorrow, the House of Representatives of the Netherlands will vote on the proposed budget, which includes dramatic budget cuts to higher education.

Today is the last opportunity for us to make our voices heard before tomorrow's vote. There will be protests throughout the country.

At Delft University of Technology, we will gather at 1pm in front of the Aula for a walk-out.
