The UM does not want to make it an online event, said president and rector Rianne Letschert to a University Council committee last week. But, she added, it would be irresponsible to come together with a large group in the church at the moment.
Because of this, the official transfer of the rector’s chain of office will be postponed until May. The new rector Pamela Habibović will take over her new job from 1 February, as planned. At that time, Letschert’s dual function will expire.
