According to Rob Siebelink, editor-in-chief of the University of Groningen\u2019s <em>Ukrant<\/em>, Buijs was cancelled after Wekker withdrew. The latter declined to take part under such \u2018feverish circumstances\u2019, referring to the boycotting of the conference by several editors-in-chief last week.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Balanced<\/h2><p>This put the organisers in an impossible position, Siebelink says. \u201cWe wanted to have a balanced debate, and we couldn\u2019t find a replacement for someone of Wekker\u2019s stature at such short notice.\u201d The organisers now plan an alternative debate that will focus mainly on the situation that has arisen. \u201cSahar Meradji will remain on the panel. She told us the topic was too important for her to withdraw. The rest of the panel will be made up by Chris Wind (editor-in-chief of <em>HanzeMag<\/em> \u2013 ed.), Kring president Ries Agterberg and myself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When news of Buijs\u2019 invitation to the conference broke last week, three of the four Kring board members responded by saying they would no longer attend. Saskia Bonger, editor-in-chief of the Delft University of Technology magazine <em>Delta<\/em>, resigned from the board in protest against the compromise the Kring had reached with the media organisers in Groningen.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u2018Empty hype\u2019<\/h2><p>Buijs, a social scientist, has acquired a reputation lately as an ardent critic of \u2018woke\u2019 and related matters. Among other things, he liked a tweet of an image depicting a swastika made of progress flags and wrote an opinion piece for the UvA magazine <em>Folia<\/em> in which he referred to the use of non-binary pronouns as an \u2018empty hype\u2019 and called \u2018woke culture\u2019 a threat to academic freedom.<\/p>\n<p>The <em>Kring van Hoofdredacteuren <\/em>is the umbrella organisation for 22
