I travelled from Brussels to Canterbury to humanize the @bsis_sos cause and show that our institution is more than just figures of @UniKent’s financial mismanagement. Upon arrival, all I got were apathetic smiles and dismissive answers.

We sent a student to Canterbury on really short notice to deliver our statement, yet the admin from @UniKent has not yet bothered coming to Brussels to provide us with any info, plan or alternative strategies! (1/3)

Many many years ago, I learnt Hebrew out of curiosity, and in a bid to penetrate into a world that I once thought was evil and conspiring against Arabs and Muslims. Once in, I was surprised how wrong I was, how wrong almost every Arab and Muslim around me was. These days, I watch…

Who is accountable for this? "in its 2022 Annual Review it affirmed that there were 'adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future,' and in the past decade, it heavily increased salaries for the highest-paid staff. brusselstimes.com/448122/anger-a…

Brussels-based @UniKent students have said they have been left in the lurch by the university’s decision to suddenly close its satellite campus, a move they claimed was taken without any consultation, reports @benwupton timeshighereducation.com/news/kent-stud…

This goes beyond inflation, the ones to really blame for @KentBSIS closure are those at top management at @UniKent They took an erratic decision instead of finding other ways to keep an excellent academic centre open.

A lazy and ignorant mistake by @UniKent ! I’d be interested to see how this poor decision will affect Kent’s international student enrollment in the upcoming year/s 🤔

BSIS is not only a campus, but a community of people. Abruptly closing the university doors diminish the tight knit, academic community that students, professors, and staff have created here in Brussels. Help us get answers!

Staff and students were told in a "cryptic email" that the school, with its campus in Etterbeek, would be fully closing in spring 2024. brusselstimes.com/belgium/448122…

For those that speak french, @lesoir, one the the biggest Belgian Francophone newspapers has just published an article on @UniKent's terrible mismanagement of @KentBSIS closure. lesoir.be/506733/article…

The mind boggles! 12 days ago, staff and students of @KentBSIS were informed of its closure. Current students are *still* waiting to hear how @UniKent plan to continue to deliver their programmes. What a farce.

The closure of our school @KentBSIS is very badly managed by @UniKent, so far leaving both professors and students unsettled and making us/them feel uncertain and insecure about the future. It is a shame given the high quality of both professors and students.

⚠️ The students of @KentBSIS need a clear plan and answers on the closure of the Brussels campus from the @UniKent You can learn more about our concerns and demands in the following article from @KentBylines kentbylines.co.uk/closure-of-bru…

We need @UniKent executive staff to know we are more than just numbers on a spreadsheet. We are an intellectual, talented community. We have been cheated & we demand attention to the issues that the abrupt closure of BSIS has caused. @timeshighered @KentUnion

Yes, being ‘terminated’ feels bad. Witnessing my students being treated this way feels worse. But oh-my-god, does the way they react make my heart sing. Thoughts and prayers for University managers who got on the wrong side of @summerrfelsen and the @KentBSIS community.

@KentBSIS students were supposed to focus on their papers and dissertations during the break. Instead they are worried about the future of their professors after @UniKent fired them

🔴 My alma mater @KentBSIS is closing on the shortest notice after 24y in Brussels. ❗All uni staff and professors will be jobless in September. Current students are left in the wild. ❌ @UniKent gives 0 answers. This is an unacceptable situation! Share the word with @bsis_sos

Last week students and staff at @KentBSIS received a cryptic, insensitive, and ambiguous email telling us that @UniKent would be “winding down its operation in Brussels from September 2023” and proceed to complete closure by Spring 2024.
