From academic staff (WP) and support staff (OBP) to... colleaugues

During the opening of the academic year, Anton Pijpers announced that Utrecht University will no longer use two separate categories to distinguish between two groups of employees: scientific staff (WP) and support and administrative staff (OBP). Untill now, these two abbreviations have commonly been used in all kinds of (internal) communication. What will we call each other from now on? 'University staff', or simply 'colleague's' of course. Recognition and Rewards. The Executive Board's decision is part of a culture change that is called Rewards and Recognition. Together we are working towards a culture in which the team and collaboration have a crucial role. Distinguishing between two separate categories of colleagues no longer fits into this vision.
