TU Delft stresses need for permanent improvement in social safety

Investigation by Inspectorate Education unsound and disappointing. In response to the Inspectorate's report into social safety among employees at the university, TU Delft stresses that social safety deserves priority, ongoing attention and improvement. TU Delft takes the inspectorate's recommendations on board in its improvement process. Without wanting to downplay the signals in the report, TU Delft notes that the underlying investigation by the Inspectorate of Education is unsound. The report that has just been adopted contains inaccurate, incomplete and poorly substantiated accusations against the university, (groups of) employees and (groups of) managers. TU Delft finds the damage the Directorate's report is causing to the university and its staff to be unacceptable and unnecessary. Consequently, the report contributes insufficiently to the conversation about social safety, which TU Delft finds disappointing, precisely because social safety was and is such an important concern for TU Delft, for education and for society as a whole.
