No renewed cooperation

The reason for the demonstration is allegations of militarisation of the university and cooperation with Israel. It has been suggested that the Executive Board is considering renewed cooperation with Israeli institutions.That is not the case. Read the statement on non-cooperationExternal link and the statement on defenceExternal link.

Safe campus

We understand that the action by students and staff may stir up emotions and concerns, and it may also cause some disruption. Demonstrations are allowed, and for that reason the UvA will do everything possible to guide the actions in the right direction and ensure a safe campus. In principle, all UvA buildings will remain open as normal. However, if the situation calls for it, one or more buildings may temporarily close their doors.
