Concerned students from End Fossil WUR, among others, are protesting on the Wageningen campus today. They occupy a wing in the Forum building and have drawn up a manifesto in which they demand Wageningen University & Research acts on decarbonization, democratization and decolonization.
Tuesday 01:00 - The occupation in the Forum building by End Fossil WUR has ended. Talks were held with the protesters several times during the day and also in the evening. An invitation to further discuss their demands after today was declined. Several warnings were issued during the evening that the building should be empty by 11pm. A handful of activists voluntarily left the building at 11pm, and at WUR's request, the last 15 activists were led out by police after midnight.
Monday 17:00 - Arthur Mol, rector magnificus of Wageningen University & Research, and Arnold Bregt, dean of education, had a substantive conversation about the protesters' concerns and demands. Mol and Bregt addressed WUR's role relating to these issues.
A total of about 20 demonstrators were present. The demonstration proceeds calmly and in a good atmosphere.
