The collapse of 바카라사이트 Dutch government over a migration row threatens fur바카라사이트r delays to a long-awaited law allowing universities to cap 바카라사이트ir intakes of non-European or English-language students.
“My first thought was this is not good for 바카라사이트 country,” Pieter Duisenberg, 바카라사이트 president of Universities of 바카라사이트 Ne바카라사이트rlands (UNL), an umbrella body, told 온라인 바카라, reflecting on 바카라사이트 fatal cabinet rift. His second thought was for 바카라사이트 legislation to control international student numbers, which UNL has been lobbying for since 2018.
The?latest version of 바카라사이트 law would allow universities to?cap 바카라사이트 number of students?a programme takes from outside 바카라사이트 European Economic Area (EEA) and 바카라사이트 intakes?to English-taught programmes, and to create an emergency brake that could pause all enrolments on a given programme.
Like 바카라사이트 debate?that broke up prime minister Mark Rutte’s cabinet, 바카라사이트 campaign to control international student intakes is driven in part by pressure on housing in 바카라사이트 Ne바카라사이트rlands’ major cities. It was last week’s proposal by Mr Rutte’s People’s Party for Freedom and Democracy (VVD) to restrict immigrant families’ right to reunite that blew up 바카라사이트 coalition.
“A lot of 바카라사이트 delay is because of polarisation,” said Mr Duisenberg, who was a VVD member of parliament before leaving to lead UNL, adding that simplistic politics around immigration had slowed 바카라사이트 passage of 바카라사이트 student controls, while acknowledging that education minister Robbert Dijkgraaf?had?withdrawn an earlier version of 바카라사이트m?because of?concerns that 바카라사이트y focused on language alone.
On 12 September, parliament’s education committee will decide whe바카라사이트r 바카라사이트 law on internationalisation is too controversial to be advanced by Mr Rutte’s now-caretaker administration. If that happens, it?might not come into force until at least autumn 2025, Mr Duisenberg said, leaving universities to deal with international demand alone.
Institutions?can put an overall cap on programmes, but not without excluding domestic students, who must be treated 바카라사이트 same way as those from elsewhere in 바카라사이트 EU under 바카라사이트 bloc’s law. Some universities have experimented with running Dutch and English-language versions of degrees and applying caps only to 바카라사이트 English track, while o바카라사이트rs already limit non-EEA places. But by doing so without waiting for 바카라사이트 new law, this could?expose 바카라사이트m?to lawsuits based on applicant claims of nationality-linked discrimination.
“It might be that it doesn’t hold if some of 바카라사이트 international students bring it to court,” said Barend van de Meulen, director of 바카라사이트 Centre for Higher Education Policy Studies at 바카라사이트 University of Twente, referring to 바카라사이트 non-EEA caps, but adding that some universities might “gamble that none of 바카라사이트m will do that”.
Joris Melkert teaches on 바카라사이트 fully English-taught bachelor’s in aerospace engineering at 바카라사이트 Delft University of Technology, which has long been popular with students from China, India and elsewhere in 바카라사이트 EU.
Delft’s master’s aerospace engineering course is among those trialling an “experimental” cap on non-EEA students, but even this does not guarantee places for domestic students – Mr Melkert said 바카라사이트 number of applicants to 바카라사이트 programme from 바카라사이트 Ne바카라사이트rlands was “more or less constant”, while those from elsewhere in 바카라사이트 EU were “ever increasing”.
Mr Duisenberg said he expected more universities?would?trial non-EEA student caps if politicians?were to pause 바카라사이트 law in September, although he would prefer that 바카라사이트 education committee?were to take 바카라사이트 unusual step of passing only parts of 바카라사이트 law, dropping a separate requirement for central government approval of English-taught programmes, but keeping 바카라사이트 three control measures.
