'There is insufficient basis to embark together', Henk Gevaert says. 'I think it is very sad, because I would have liked to settle on campus. But the UT does not want to meet my conditions.' Gevaert had demanded that the UT should find him a place to work and live.
'The Medical Centre will soon become the place of residence of the Occupational Health Service. Therefore the surgery has to move somewhere else on campus. I would like to live there too. A reduction in living costs would compensate for the fact that the surgery makes a loss.'
Gevaert was supposed to hear from the UT whether they agreed before 1 April. 'Their promises were too vague, to my mind. At a certain point your patience runs out, I have a wife and children in Nijmegen and need to make a decision.'
