EINDHOVEN – The new policy from the Design Academy Eindhoven is disastrous for the future of the university.
According to Joost Grootens who on Saturday along with two others stepped down as department heads.The complete top of the Design Academy Eindhoven stepped down Thursday after a conflict regarding the new policy. As stated by Grootens there was no other option than to step down. “We would have liked to stay, but we have a responsibility to the students, which we cannot fulfill with this new policy.”The largest stumbling block in the renewal process are the organizational renewals. “In this new structure we have no more say; we could only get the coffee.” Henri Beelen on behalf of the board of the Design Academy expressed their disappointment that the three have stepped down. “We have been in negotiations for years but unfortunately we could not come to a mutual agreement.”Source: Omroep Brabant
