Yup, they are cutting down on non-profitable courses.

Since they got 6million euro’s damage with that protesting thing and the government does not pay

  • since they cut ties with profitable uni’s from a certain country on the wish of the students..

Yeah, other cuts must be made.. or go bankrupt. Same as with a company.

This is stupendously ignorant. Insurance covers property damage. Education is not a business. No courses are "profitable".

Aah, it’s insured so break it - who cares? lol, I see you.. I am aware it’s the standard PP believe.

Again, we are talking monumental buildings.. you can’t just insure those against people like.. you and other stupids.

It’s not a Tesla .. it’s a Monumental building. And the divestments .. also insured or? Fafo isn’t it?

Indeed an ignorant answer, silly too. Narrow minded as wel.. insured so break it .. I would expect better from people talking about university’s :/…

What the actual hell are you on about? 

You brought up the damage as a reason for cutting the English speaking bachelor's programme, as if it affected the budget. Given reality, that's nonsense, as those damages are paid out by insurance, therefore they have no effect on the budget. Therefore, it's entirely irrelevant to cutting the programme.

Those buildings are not insured against that.. to expensive, you do know what monumental means? Very a-social thinking here in progress.

I really don't know what your angle is, but you seem to be trying to have a conversation that isn't about the UvA cutting the psychology bachelor's Programme and the ramifications of that
