Protests at Maastricht University - Update 5
It has come to the attention of Maastricht University’s Executive Board and Management Team via an anonymous email that six of the protesters who have been allowed to stay in the garden of the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences (FASoS) have embarked on a hunger strike as of today until their demands are met. We take the situation and in particular the safety of everyone in our community very seriously and will continue to seek dialogue and a way forward with the protesters. We will update you as soon as we have more information.
