Survey by D&I office about racism at UM
The D&I office, in cooperation with students from the PREMIUM honours programme, are conducting a survey into racism at UM.
With the survey, they aim at getting a baseline measurement of current perceptions of racism of our whole UM community (both experienced and perceived). Such a baseline measurement is crucial to better understand the current UM environment in which UM initiatives on anti-racism have to be embedded.

Last week’s April fool’s FASoS weekly special edition
On Thursday 1 April, we sent out a FASoS weekly special edition about the supposed removal of the new coffee machines at FASoS. Via a short survey you could let us know whether you would like to be compensated for the removal of the coffee machines by ordering a Nespresso machine, a Senseo machine or a kettle for your office.
