Excellent article going to the heart of the problems. Well if the position of the Executive Board is to say 'go home' to homeless international students, then we are really in trouble. Let's sum things up: IT processes at the VU are just not working (although lots of money are spend on these new systems), people get hired and cannot even get a pass to enter the closed spaces (that the Executive board created a few years ago because they thought it's a good idea), lecturers are overworked trying to give hybrid education after providing online education, support staff is overworked because some high-paid managers messed up in the planning and implementation of the new IT systems, large numbers of students are homeless, many more had trouble in getting VUnet id's etc for the same IT systems failure.
