Technische Universität München - wat misschien toch niet te vergelijken valt met een universiteit die ‘alles’ geeft

Mits een kleine prijs kan een master student rechten zich, dankzij de Vlaamse decreetgever, inschrijven in Leuven en Hasselt voor hetzelfde vak met dezelfde prof, aldus 4 examenkansen krijgend, netjes verdeeld over het jaar.

Het is al van even geleden. Misschien is het intussen terug in de catechismus.

Ooit onderwijsondersteuners letterlijk bleek zien uitslaan omdat collega sprak over ‘begeleide zelfstudie’. Collega bleek gemist te hebben dat wat in vorig regime aanbeden was, intussen verbrand werd.

‘Colleges and universities still evince many faults and inequities, but they are more intellectually and culturally diverse, and more accommodating to free expression and social tolerance, than ever before. That’s why they’re under attack.’

Rebecca Sear @rebeccasear.bsky.social · 13d

This is such a good article on how the undermining of universities is part of an anti-democratic movement:

“Anti-university rhetoric is the language of an international pro-authoritarian movement opposed to centers of learning that model liberal-democratic values”

Tracing the roots of anti-university rhetoric (opinion)

Bradford Vivian writes that growing anti-university sentiment can be traced to pro-authoritarian movements abroad.

“Door de beslissing aan de individuele lesgever over te laten, ontstaat een vacuüm in het beleid, wat leidt tot chaos.” Wat betekent dat zelfs?

“ondanks de wetenschappelijk bewezen positieve effecten van lesopnames“. 🧐🫤

Q: My condolences on the loss of your friend Charlie Kirk. How are you holding up?

TRUMP: I think very good. And by the way, right there you see all the trucks. They just started construction of the new ballroom for the White House, which is something they've been trying to get for about 150 years.

This is fucking wild man

We truly believe if Tyler Robinson had ever sat down across from Charlie, the great debater, the man of faith and grace he was, Tyler wouldn’t have pulled the trigger.

We know Charlie Kirk would want us to pray for such an evil, and lost individual like Tyler Robinson to find Jesus Christ.

We will try to do the same.
