RSC/RVSV suspends members who pelted police after a house party

Several RSC/RVSV members have been suspended by the student association. They pelted police officers with rubbish and cans during a house party that was broken up by the police because the students were flouting the corona rules. Residents of the house and a student club who took part have been sanctioned. The house where the party took place is not allowed to call itself a clubhouse for at least a year. The student club has been suspended. In addition, the board has asked the members to do something charitable for the neighbourhood or the city in return.

“As an association, we find that organising a big house party and the misconduct of some members towards the police are totally unacceptable,” President Pita Elhorst wrote in a statement. The board hopes that the suspension will be seen as a warning by other members and that ‘similar incidents will not happen again in the future.’

No sanctions from the university

The association is silent about the number of members and which dispute the sanction is imposed. But Elhorst emphasises that the sanctions are seen as heavy from the perspective of the association. “The members involved and the house have to give up their privileges,” says Elhorst.

The association has not been sanctioned by the university. Elhorst does not wish to go into details but reports that the association has entered into discussions with the Rector Magnificus Rutger Engels.

Back on 19 September, a house party was organised in a house on the Oostzeedijk Beneden. When the police wanted to break the party up because of the corona measures, students pelted the police with rubbish and cans. Rotterdam Mayor Ahmed Aboutaleb and Rector Magnificus Rutger Engels immediately condemned the house party and the students’ behaviour. RSC/RVSV chair Elhorst did the same thing as well and announced that sanctions and an investigation will take place.
