\u201cIt is becoming more difficult each year to fill all student board positions\u201d, student organisations, including the Dutch National Student Association (ISO), the National Association of Student Societies (LKvV), the Erasmus Student Network, and Student Sports the Netherlands, wrote to the minister. The organisations cautioned that associations might vanish.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn recent years, many student organisations have already been dissolved, with all the consequences that follow\u201d, said ISO chair Sarah Evink in a press release. \u201cStudent activities are an important outlet for many. If these fade away, the social life of students will come under even more pressure.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\t
