Polarisation solves absolutely
nothing
Column by Diversity Officer Isabel Hoving
Here at the Diversity Office we read quite some newspapers,
and we’re on Twitter and other social media as well.
Altogether, what we see and read there isn’t very uplifting:
#MeToo, Trump, climate, Jemen, Brazil… In face of all that
violence and all that polarisation we tend to feel powerless.

Diversity and inclusiveness policy
assessed
Before the summer, an external committee was asked by the
Executive Board to review the University’s diversity and
inclusiveness policy. The committee’s report represents a
positive evaluation and makes some valuable recommendations
for future policy. More news on this subject at the Diversity
symposium on 13 November.
