The University of Amsterdam (UvA) announced that it will stop supporting a student exchange with the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. The Dutch university also said it will also ensure that it will not enter into collaborative projects with Hungarian institutions under various sanctions by the European Union. At the same time, the UvA also said Thursday it will re-examine its efforts to provide safeguards for doctoral students from China who could potentially be subjected to political pressure by the Chinese government and organizations working on behalf of the Chinese state.
The UvA’s Executive Board said it will follow the advice it commissioned from the Advisory Committee on Collaboration with Third Parties. This was one of the concessions the UvA gave to demonstrators who primarily pressured the university to stop projects with Israel.

Further, the advice also called on the university to end its arrangements with Hungarian institutions that are blocked from participation in the Erasmus and HorizonEurope programs. The UvA specifically mentioned the University of Pannonia, which is mainly located in Veszprém, and HU-rizon, a Hungarian government international research program with funding equivalent to about 20 million euros.

The university also took note of concerns about PhD students from the China Scholarship Council, or CSC. Media outlets in the Netherlands have been reporting for several years that students from these programs can find themselves pushed into a difficult position based on the pledges of political support they are required to sign before getting approval and funding from the CSC.

“At the moment, these three specific collaborations have problematic aspects, which the assessment committee has pointed out to us. That is why we will not be continuing them in their current form for the time being,” said the university rector, Peter-Paul Verbeek.

Maybe he was hiding his phone because you were ogling at his screen that’s frankly none of your business.
Yeah, imagine some weirdo on the train looking at your phone the whole time
A Chinese person writing in Chinese? Well I never
He was hiding his phone and writing stuff in Chinese on their own weird application with a red star.

I am not racist at all
LMAO
You know we can read for ourselves what you wrote, right?
Maybe your pathetic attempt at “correcting” yourself might work on some users on Reddit, but we can all tell here how much of a racist pos you are.
As I wrote, go back to Reddit and stop ruining Lemmy with your bs

Bro you are so funny. Have you ever even looked at a definition of ”racist”? I think no. I don’t trust them as much as I don’t trust the Russian. Simple as that. And get the fuck off me, because you are trying to make a drama there, where there is no drama. Grow up, drama kid.
So typical.
You come here, you spew racist shit, I call you out, and now I’m the one who’s being “crazy and unreasonable” for not letting you off the hook.
You bigoted assholes are all the same. Pathetic and toxic

I wrote what I mean already. Keep being racist and changing topic to pretend you’re not racist and you don’t know what’s going on lol.
I’ll block you now because I don’t want revolting bigots like you on my feed. But it’s sad to see users like you ruining this community
I understand that you don’t deliberately mean to be racist but…
How are you supposed to trust the Korean sitting in the metro writing some obscure script in their obscure app…?
How about the Taiwanese who writes and speaks Chinese, how do you trust them?
In the end people judge by appearance, which is ahem racism.
I think this is the job for the immigration agency to approve their visa, and anyways there are already some limitations on people from certain countries to travel abroad, please don’t start to encourage people to lynch certain people based on their appearance…
