SpotlightStudenten mochten meebeslissen over de besteding van de basisbeursmiljoenen. Folia-redacteur Laura ter Steege reisde van Amsterdam via Groningen naar Nijmegen en stuitte op chaos, bestuurlijke eigenwijsheid en gebrek aan openheid.
SpotlightStudents got input on how to spend the millions saved from the abolition of the basic grant. Folia editor Laura ter Steege travelled from Amsterdam to Groningen and Nijmegen and found nothing but chaos, stubborn administrators, and a lack of transparency.
NewsHet onlangs opgerichte Open Science Community Twente gaf vorige week een kick-off. Van professoren tot leken: iedereen kan aansluiten. ‘Graag zelfs’, zegt UT-onderzoeker en organisator Markus Konkol.

NewsDe honderden miljoenen die de afschaffing van de basisbeurs jaarlijks opbrengen zouden volledig gebruikt worden om het onderwijs te verbeteren. Dat was in 2015 de belofte van minister Bussemaker. Door schimmige beloftes, stijgende studentenaantallen en slappe knieën van de minister is het maar de vraag of studenten echt beter onderwijs krijgen, blijkt uit onderzoek van Folia in samenwerking met de andere universiteitsmedia.
NewsThe hundreds of millions that the abolition of the basic student grant would generate each year was to be used in full to improve education. That was the promise made by Minister Bussemaker back in 2015. However, due to shady promises, rising student numbers and a fainthearted minister, it remains to be seen whether students will actually ever receive a better education, according to research by U-Today and others.

SpotlightHet ziet er in theorie best florissant uit, in 2015. In ruil voor een uitgeholde basisbeurs komt er een ‘sociaal’ leenstelsel. Studenten kunnen naar behoefte geld lenen, en betalen dat later naar draagkracht terug. Er komt een berg geld vrij voor beter onderwijs, en studenten kunnen meepraten hoe dat onderwijs eruit gaat zien.
SpotlightTogether with other higher education media outlets, we are looking into what has become of the promises that were made when the basic student grant was abolished in a series of investigative stories. In theory, things looked pretty good back in 2015. In exchange for a hollowed-out basic student grant, a 'social' loan system would be put in its place. Students could borrow money as needed, and pay it back later depending on their financial means. A lot of money would be freed up for better education, and students would get to have their say in what that education would look like.
SpotlightWetenschappers geven les, leiden hun afdeling en delen hun inzichten met het grote publiek. Voor zulke taken zullen ze meer erkenning krijgen. Maar gaat dat niet ten koste van hun onderzoek?
NewsScientists teach, lead their department and share their insights with the general public. They are going to receive more recognition for this kind of work. But is it at the expense of their research?
This is the second edition of Campus, a magazine conceptualised and created by U-Today and the University of Twente Marketing & Communication department. The magazine is the joint successor of two magazines: the Science & Technology Magazine of U-Today and the Alumni and Relations Magazine of the UT. Through stories about education, research, entrepreneurship, student life and alumni, we bring different groups together.
