Neutral
Study programs should be audited by an independent board on the diversity of the academic and ideological perspectives in their curriculum.
Agree
The executive board of the university should be elected through an open election by the students and worker's body.
Disagree
The UvA should prioritise offering permanent contracts to Junior Lecturers (D4s), even if this leaves less financial room for senior lecturer salary increases.
Neutral
The university should significantly expand student services like student advisors and psychologists, even if this requires reducing spending on education and teaching.
Agree
The university should ensure a larger part of the curriculum (of all study programs) is focused on career preparation, even if this takes away from time spent on academic subjects.
Neutral
Every bachelor programme should be offered in both Dutch and English.
Disagree
Vanuit PartijMFAS vinden wij dat opleidingen zelf het beste kunnen beoordelen welke onderwijstaal past bij hun inhoud, doelgroep en toekomstperspectief. Voor sommige opleidingen is Nederlands logischer, terwijl internationaal georiënteerde opleidingen juist veel baat hebben bij Engelstalig onderwijs. Om de kwaliteit van onderwijs te waarborgen moet hierin ruimte blijven voor variatie, in plaats van een algemene landelijke verplichting.
The university should prioritise expanding study spaces over investing in additional contemplation rooms.
Neutral
The university lacks sufficient readily accessible gender-neutral toilets and should convert more existing toilets to be gender-neutral.
Neutral
Student & Workers Councils should have the final say in all policy decisions
Disagree
The UvA should expand research collaboration and funding partnerships with private sector companies.
Neutral
Calling the police is an appropriate response when protests disrupt education or access to services.
Neutral
The university should actively prioritise diversity targets in hiring, even when this means deviating from purely merit-based selection.
Disagree
Students wishing to follow honours programmes should be admitted based on academic performance, not motivation alone.
Disagree
The majority of the food options sold on campus should be plant based.
