Everyone’s voice counts. In our decision-making process, we will, therefore, take note of all perspectives, both those of colleagues and students and of inspiring practices from outside KU Leuven. We will actively bring them into dialogue with each other so that we can make optimally informed and strongly supported decisions. In the policy-making bodies, all staff groups will be considered full discussion partners. To that effect, the Education Council and the Research Council will be enriched with ATP representatives, and the Groups’ Executive Committees will be broadened with the ZAP representatives of the Academic Council, in addition to the ABAP, ATP and student representatives.
Commitments and action points that concern the entire university deserve active discussion. They will, therefore, be reported on annually in a University Hall Meeting where we, as a university policy team, will engage with colleagues and students, both on the policies pursued and those envisioned for the coming period – in an easily accessible and open-minded fashion.
