Petition presented to TU Delft administration

The so-called Students and Staff for safety have presented their petition by e-mail to the TU Delft’s Executive Board and Supervisory Board on Thursday afternoon, 14 March. They have collected more than 1,000 signatures under it since 5 March.

In the petition, the anonymous initiators call on the TU Delft administration not to take the Inspectorate of Education to court. Instead, they say, all attention should go to improving social safety at TU Delft, as required by the Inspection and the outgoing Minister.

Different course of action

According to the authors of the petition, it was signed by about 70 % current TU employees, 5 % former employees and students, 10 % students and 15 % people whose relationship with the TU cannot be traced. In the e-mail, they stress that many more people support the initiative but have not signed for privacy reasons or fear of possible consequences. “This signal cannot be ignored. A different course of action is needed,” they conclude.

A TU Delft spokesperson gives this response to the petition: “The Executive and Supervisory Boards are always open to reactions from students or employees. This explicitly includes reactions from staff and students who agree with the inspection report. All opinions are welcome.”
