opened the meeting with an overview of the university\u2019s financial concerns. There are three causes: major budget cuts by the government, a decrease in international students due to political decisions, and a decline in the number of Dutch students as a result of demographic trends. In addition, universities are facing more competition, for example for research grants. \u201cOur university\u2019s earning capacity is under pressure. That makes it difficult to decide for ourselves how we spend our money\u201d, said Bredenoord.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, salaries have increased and the university has more permanent staff. \u201cThat\u2019s exactly what we want: permanent jobs and decent wages. But at the moment, this contributes to a perfect storm\u201d, she said.<\/p>\n<p>Vice-president Ellen van Schoten then outlined the financial figures: the university ended 2024 with a deficit of 3.5 million euros. For 2025 and 2026, annual cuts of 15 million euros are expected, with a further total of 18 million euros between 2026 and 2030 due to the declining number of Dutch students. \u201cSo we need to become more strategic, more agile and more entrepreneurial\u201d, she stressed.<\/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\">Read more<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<ul class=\"grid items-strecth grid-cols-1 gap-2 md:gap-4 lg:gap-8\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"@container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<div data-component=\"teaser-post-small\" class=\"block-theme-sand  relative flex h-full bg-sand-300\n\tblock-theme-violet:bg-white block-theme-violet:text-purple block-theme-mocha:bg-sand-500 block-theme-mocha:text-brown\n\tblock-theme-sand:bg-sand-300 block-theme-sand:text-neutral-900\n\tblock-theme-violet:outline-purple-100 block-theme-violet:outline-1 block-theme-violet:outline-t-0\n\ttheme-mocha:bg-white!

If we don\u2019t make a proposal and the Act is passed \u2013 which is likely given the support in both Houses \u2013 then all bachelor\u2019s programmes will be assessed against the language requirement.
