A theme of crucial importance to the Works Council<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Diversity, inclusion, and equity are major themes in TU Delft’s policy. It is often referred to by the abbreviations DIE or DEI. We see this in practice on campus through the all-gender toilets and reflection rooms. There is also a lot of attention for gender\u202fequality,\u202fand the Progress flag flies prominently in front of the Aula every day.\u202f <\/p>\n\n\n

At the same time,\u202fnot enough\u202fattention is\u202fgiven\u202fto the interests of those who are limited in\u202ftheir\u202fwork\u202for study on campus due to a disability or chronic illness.\u202fRecently, the Student Council and the Subcommittee for University Services have,\u202fseparately,\u202furged the Executive Board to pay more attention to this.\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another part of DIE is treating each other equally. The investigation by the Education Inspectorate focuses, among other things, on disadvantages within the TU.\u202fIn 2025, the national House of Whistleblowers\u202fhad\u202fseen a 50% increase in reports of abuse at work, of which 90% concern\u202fprejudices.\u202fSo,\u202fthis is a very common problem.\u202fThis does not mean that\u202fprejudice\u202fis ‘normal’, but that a clear position must be taken against it.\u202f\u202f <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The FNV wholeheartedly supports these initiatives for greater equality.\u202fDIE\u202fis also a theme that the FNV is campaigning for nationally, as you can read at\u202fFNV.nl\/actie<\/a>. The FNV faction in the Works Council also ensures that this theme\u202fremains\u202fhigh on the board’s agenda. Your membership of the FNV helps us to do this within TU Delft and nationally on behalf of a broad constituency.\u202f <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
