The UC deliberates on this on MONDAY 30/1.

There's still time to sign the open letter!

Just over a year ago, a spokesperson for #LeidenUniversity said the smart cameras installed secretively during lockdown would ONLY be turned back on 'if students and staff are convinced they are safe'.

Over 300 have now signed a letter of concern addressed to the University Council:

We are NOT convinced.

We want them to take the cameras DOWN.

Slimme camera’s horen niet op de universiteit: haal ze weg! » Mare #UnseeUs #CameraGate https://www.mareonline.nl/opinie/waarom-de-slimme-cameras-weg-moeten/

We argue #SurveillanceTechnology undermines academic values of freedom and autonomy.

The board of #LeidenUniversity should take the smart cameras down!
