The so-called "Learning Management System" (LMS) that we use at the #UniversityofAmsterdam and #AmsterdamUniversityCollege is called "Canvas".
#Canvas is owned by Instructure, which in turn was bought in 2024 - for 4.8 billion USD - by #KKR, a US investment firm that has close ties with the arms industry and - as such - to the #IDF.
In July #Instructure signed a deal with #OpenAI to work towards the total integration of OpenAI's AI technologies into Canvas: https://www.forbes.com/sites/rayravaglia/2025/07/23/instructure-and-openai-harness-the-power-of-ai-to-transform-learning/

Hey there! On Wednesday, I completed the ILLC's Master of #Logic at the #UniversityOfAmsterdam :dr_tobydance: My supervisor and the rest of the committee were super nice to me, as were all the friends who have helped me throughout these two years. Amazing programme full of amazing people btw. :blobcat_heart:

#UniversityofAmsterdam #Monday
Today employees of the #UniversityofAmsterdam #UvA are on #strike to protest against the budget cuts for education that are pushed by our far right government.
Universities are a place of wonder, curiosity and resistance.
This world is in desperate need of all of these things.
Update: there were 5000 of us today. And a student and I even made it to the main newspaper pic. 💅

Given the ongoing #coup in the #UnitedStates and the ensuing increased security and privacy issues, I am refusing to actively contribute to the usage of the #Microsoft #email service of the #UniversityOfAmsterdam.

Yes, it's largely symbolic, but at this point, when it comes to forms of resistance, we can't be picky.
See attached images for the daily program of the upcoming #strike of #FNV members at the #UniversityOfAmsterdam

From Monday (tomorrow) up to and including Thursday unionised staff from the #UniversityOfAmsterdam are on #strike over the university's executive boards' unwillingness to cut (or even pause) ties with Israeli academic institutions.
For more information see https://fnv.nl/uva
Keep track of this thread for updates and details about the strike.

From the Amsterdam Student Encampment:
'❗️WE HAVE TAKEN OVER SCIENCE PARK! JOIN US AT WALID DAQQA CAMPUS❗️
Join us at Science Park 904 right now and bring tents, sleeping bags, flags and banners!
Today marks the establishment of the fourth encampment at the University of Amsterdam. We have reclaimed the university in the name of freedom fighter and political prisoner Walid Daqqa, and all Palestinian imprisoned comrades in Israeli prisons, as well as in the Netherlands, and beyond.
Daqqa was martyred on the 7th of April, after 38 years of imprisoned, but his resilient spirit will never die! When our knowledge institutions silence the freedom movement and those fighting for liberation, we reclaim the power by raising our voices in unison.
We are loud in reclaiming our universities and showing solidarity with all Palestinian political prisoners!
JOIN US AT SCIENCE PARK NOW'

From Palestine Action Amsterdam:
"Palestine Action Amsterdam closes Nakba day by spraying Roeterseiland with red paint as a sign of solidarity with all student encampments.
Tonight, at the end of the 76th memorial day of the Nakba, Palestine Action Amsterdam is showing solidarity with the struggle for a free Palestine by daubing the ABC building on Roeterseiland with red paint and the words ‘Shame on UvA’.
This protest highlights the ongoing struggle of Palestinians against oppression, occupation and the current genocide Israel is committing against the Palestinian people. We also stand in solidarity with students worldwide who speak out against injustice and oppression. Even if that involves damaging property. The time for asking nicely has passed."
