Waarom universiteiten kritische vragen niet uit de weg mogen gaan Academische vrijheid staat onder druk. Waarom wetenschap lastige vragen niet mag ontwijken en waarheidsvinding centraal moet blijven.

Samen met collega Herman Paul @leidenhumanities.bsky.social schreef ik een stukje over de vraag waarom universiteiten kritische vragen niet uit de weg mogen/moeten gaan.

Read the full text of Trump’s proposal for priority college funding A proposal from the Trump administration would give colleges funding advantages if they agree to adopt conservative priorities.

I've been trying to figure out what's really at stake with "viewpoint diversity." Obviously, it's not about hiring a slew of anarcho-syndicalist chemists for the sake of filling out the viewpoint spectrum.

“Normalize” is the new N-word. My fellow liberals & I are aghast at the deteriorating public square under Trump, Richard Spencer & gang. We recoil at the thought of conversing with their comrades. To do so is to recognize & therefore normalize them.

Is it, though?”
