Wie houdt van de universiteit, wil helpen haar te maken wat ze kan zijn: een vrije, saamhorige, democratische kennisgemeenschap die bijdraagt aan een betere wereld. Dat ideaal is in de huidige academie vaak ver weg, vanwege hoge werkdruk, tijdelijke contracten, ongelijke behandeling, onnodige hiërarchie en incapabele leidinggevenden. Wie daarop wijst, doet dat omdat ze zoveel houdt van wat de universiteit kán zijn, dat ze de moed heeft voor verandering te vechten.

All things considered, should we get rid of equal opportunity programs? Certainly not. But I think we should forsake the collective delusion that having an equal opportunity program is equivalent to being an equal opportunity employer. The discrepancy between public commitment and actual progress seems to stem largely from the conviction that, if put on paper, diversity will magically result in inclusiveness.

Ambiguous evaluation criteria and the sole dependency on one person for decision making about promotions should be banned.

We do not allow academics to give lectures without having acquired the necessary knowledge and skills – why do we allow academics to manage a diverse workforce without having acquired the necessary knowledge and skills?

Given the potential backlash, I did not take the decision to expose myself through this essay lightly.
