The Executive Board wants to enter into dialogue with the activists in the Sanders building, the university administration announced on Monday morning. OccupyEUR, the group of students and staff who occupied the building, is willing to do so and has proposed a meeting. What time that conversation will take place is not clear yet. It looks like the conversation will be between 6pm and 6.30pm, protesters tell EM. But the university wouldn\u2019t confirm that yet, despite multiple requests.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, about seventy people are present at the protest in the Sanders building, most of them are studying at Erasmus University. The activists are organising lectures and workshops. Earlier today, Willem Schinkel, professor of Social Theory, addressed the group. He encouraged them to be critical of the university. There is also a teach-in by scholars Zouhair Hammana and Irene van Oorschot, on racism and climate.<\/p>\n\n\t
