Universities have a hard time accepting women who speak truth to power.

This is the essay that led her university to wanting to fire Susanne Täuber. I recommend reading it https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/joms.12516

@Iris Wow, the whole essay is 🔥 and could equally apply to my industry (and no doubt many others). Thank you! 🙏🏻

And because disproportionate and overwhelming administrative violence is the standard organizational response to even the most mildly spoken uncomfortable truth from already vulnerable people, there is now a petition people can sign: https://openletter.earth/reinstate-susanne-tauber-protect-social-safety-and-academic-freedom-at-the-rug-ed83c085 #ItsNotAPipelineProblem #Software #CyberSecurity

@Iris hope they weren’t successful… quoting the most damming sentence (never having lived in the Netherlands I have no way to test… although it might correlate with some behavior I’ve seen): «Non-Dutch academics are also oblivious to the widespread practice of influence peddling that is considered normative in the Dutch culture. Influence peddling means using one’s influence and connections to obtain preferential treatment for another person and is [entrenched] in the Dutch culture»

Reinstate Susanne Täuber, protect social safety and academic freedom at the RUG

@Iris Rather a fitting description of Dutch culture… not only for academics. Closed ranks for politics, investors, businesses, Health care professionals, etc… supporting their own. And like always, not every etc… but one’ll find this behaviour everywhere in Dutch society.
@Iris can't help but see parallels between the experience of #SusanneTäuber at the RUG and the experience of Aïcha Marghadi at Studio Sport. So much conscious and unconscious tribalism.

@Iris

How can writing that be a firing offence? In particular, the concrete proposals seem very reasonable.

@Iris Have also a look on her impressing talk about bullying as a career tool in academia:
