These merger plans were vehemently opposed by a large share of the faculty, including ESHCC\u2019s Management Team (MT).<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pressure and intimidation<\/h2><div data-component=core\/image><figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;69e7234be9048&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"69e7234be9048\" class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-thumbnail is-resized wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/www.erasmusmagazine.nl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2019\/06\/24133811\/wubs-en-klemann-1600x1066-300x200.jpg?image-crop-positioner-ts=1766139175\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-100206\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.erasmusmagazine.nl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2019\/06\/24133811\/wubs-en-klemann-1600x1066-300x200.jpg?image-crop-positioner-ts=1766139175 300w, https:\/\/www.erasmusmagazine.nl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2019\/06\/24133811\/wubs-en-klemann-1600x1066-875x583.jpg?image-crop-positioner-ts=1766139175 875w, https:\/\/www.erasmusmagazine.nl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2019\/06\/24133811\/wubs-en-klemann-1600x1066-1280x853.jpg?image-crop-positioner-ts=1766139175 1280w, https:\/\/www.erasmusmagazine.nl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2019\/06\/24133811\/wubs-en-klemann-1600x1066.jpg?image-crop-positioner-ts=1766139175 1600w, https:\/\/www.erasmusmagazine.nl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2019\/06\/24133811\/wubs-en-klemann-1600x1066-150x100.jpg?image-crop-positioner-ts=1766139175 150w, https:\/\/www.erasmusmagazine.nl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2019\/06\/24133811\/wubs-en-klemann-1600x1066-225x150.jpg?image-crop-positioner-ts=1766139175 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><p><span>Hein Klemann (l) en Ben Wubs (r).<\/span><\/p><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div><p>According to the statement\u2019s signatories, ESHCC has a \u2018very turbulent period\u2019 ahead of it. Van den Boom\u2019s departure has led to a power vacuum, write Wubs and Klemann. That the current MT, made up of the professors Jeroen Jansz, Susanne Janssen, Filip Vermeylen and Maria Grever, has taken over the dean\u2019s tasks is an undesirable situation, according to the two. Staff members are the victims of \u2018improper pressure and intimidation\u2019 by the MT. While this has been going on from some time, now that Van den Boom has exited the stage there\u2019s \u2018nothing to hold them back\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>Another reason why Wubs and Klemann no longer have confidence in the MT is because they believe a \u2018small group of people\u2019 have eliminated the dean to gain a free hand within the faculty. This \u2018group of people\u2019 may refer to several members of the MT, but could possibly include other people besides. In addition, the authors suggest that there is evidence that someone within the faculty tipped <em>NRC Handelsblad<\/em>\u00a0about Van den Boom\u2019s alleged plagiarism in her outlook, as recently reported in the national daily. While the statement once again doesn\u2019t give any names, in both cases the signatories censure the MT for letting it get this far.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Manipulative behaviour<\/h2><p>The professors also believe that a departmental head who is up for retirement within five months \u2013 a reference to Maria Grever, the head of the History department \u2013 shouldn\u2019t be involved in charting the faculty\u2019s future. They explicitly withdraw their confidence in Grever \u2018due to manipulative, intimidating behaviour and her focus on personal gain.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>The signatories ask the Executive Board to intervene post-haste and place the faculty under guardianship. \u201cThe present departmental heads have shirked their responsibility too often. We demand a breath of fresh air,\u201d they write. They believe the university should suspend the current members of the MT and call in an outside party that can determine how to get the faculty \u2018back on track\u2019.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Trembling in their seats<\/h2><p>Maria Grever declined from responding to the statement for <em>EM<\/em>. According to her fellow departmental heads Susanne Janssen and Filip Vermeylen, the statement is \u2018unheard of\u2019. Janssen: \u201cPeople were shocked. Colleagues attending the departmental meeting were trembling in their seats. This behaviour shows a complete lack of restraint. Apparently that\u2019s what can happen when there\u2019s no dean.\u201d Vermeylen can\u2019t say at present which consequences the letter will have. \u201cWe need to look into it further. This just happened, and we weren\u2019t there when it did.\u201d Janssen and Vermeylen say they don\u2019t recognise themselves in the picture Wubs and Klemann paint of Grever and the rest of the MT. Janssen: \u201cAnd if you have something like this to say about your managers, the appropriate route would be to contact a confidential adviser or integrity officer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Faculty Council has also condemned the statement. In an e-mail sent out to the History staff, Council chair Ana Uribe Sandoval writes that it frowns on a public rejection of the management team. Moreover, Sandoval stresses, the MT hasn\u2019t actually stepped in the departed dean\u2019s shoes \u2013 rather, these tasks are presently handled by the Executive Board. The Council calls on the department to keep working together as a team \u2013 particularly in view of upcoming visits by the research and education assessment committees.<\/p>\n<p>The Executive Board was not in the opportunity to comment.<\/p>\n\n\t<div data-name=\"acf\/posts-list\" >\n\t\t\n\t\t<div class=\"space-y-6 md:space-y-8\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"text-lg md:text-xl\">Lees
