GOING THE EXTRA MILE

ELECTION PROGRAMME 2014 – 2015 FRACTIE FRONT 1

Here you see the election program from

Fractie Front 2014/2015. In this program

you can read which points Fractie Front

wants to improve next year.

The program is composed from our three

main goals, these are: The Active

Student, Internationalization and

Communication. The vision Fractie Front

has since her foundation: ‘Going the Extra

Mile’, is the overall goal that is kept in

mind. It is of great importance that

students develop themselves and that they

take an extra step. With these main goals,

we want to make it possible for students to

experience a greater student time in a way

that the student wants.

With help of different student populations,

we wrote this election programme.

Previous members of Fractie Front and list

pushers have contributed, but we got also

a lot of input during the Algemene

Studenten Vergadering (General Students

Meeting) and the International Meeting.

Because of the contribution of all these

students, Fractie Front could realize a

broad program, which is based on the

opinions of different people.

The three main goals, mentioned above,

are the Active Student, Internationalization

and Communication. These pillars are well

connected to the slogan of Tilburg

University: “Understanding Society”.

Front has the opinion for many years that

self-development from the student is of

great importance, and not only contributes

to the development of the student, but also

to the development of the university en the

student life of the city Tilburg. Fractie Front

wants Tilburg University to stimulate this

development by motivating students to get

experience besides the education. By

doing this, students contribute to the

society, in which Tilburg University should

take a pro-active position.

Because of globalization, the exchange of

knowledge, students and teachers

increases every year. The society is not

just The Netherlands, the society

nowadays is the whole world. Tilburg

University has to give the opportunity to

students to develop themselves in a world

citizen.

“Understanding society” is especially very

important for the communication between

Tilburg University and their students. The

student has to be aware about the

developments in the University and have

the knowledge about all the facilities

available.

Experience is a new point in the election

programme. Fractie Front wants students

to feel more involved with the university.

By doing this, it is more attractive for

students to go to the university. Which

contributes to the social aspect of

studying, but it offers also more

possibilities to exchange knowledge

between students

2 ELECTION PROGRAMME 2014 – 2015 FRACTIE FRONT

Do you feel attached with our vision

and election points? Vote between 14

and 17 of April Fractie Front! Your sincerely, Fractie Front


THE ACTIVE STUDENT Going the extra mile. By being active

besides your study, you will not only

create a better career path for yourself, but

also improve your environment.

Become Active Tilburg (Word actief

Tilburg)

Fractie Front will support this commission

in their campaign. This campaign is to

inform students about the possibilities and

benefits to become active besides your

study.

Integration “being active next to studying”

in information system

The university has to give students

awareness about the benefits and

possibilities of being active besides your

study.

Introducing several pilot study days

By letting future students attend to night

programs during introduction days, they

will get a better view about Tilburg as a

student city.

Improving training soft skills

By enhancing soft-skills (like presenting,

negotiating and collaboration) students will

be better prepared for the labor market.

Realizing more vide olectures

Video lectures will give students more

flexibility and more effective time

consumption

Repeal mandatory lectures

The responsibility of attending lectures lies

in the hands of the students themselves.

Front will therefore be against mandatory

lectures.

Promotion of student workplaces

Lots of students are not aware of the

availability of workplaces at the university.

The university has to promote and make

those workplaces more visible.

No further increase and additional

demands binding study advice

Fractie Front is against the BSA in the

second and third year of the bachelor.

Furthermore is Front also against

additional demands for the BSA.

Possibility for every student to attend any

course

Students should have the opportunity to

attend to courses within the curriculum as

well as outside the curriculum without

hindrance.

INTERNATIONALIZATION Understanding society is pointed

towards the global perspective of the


university. Tilburg University has to

develop the international orientation of

their students.

Support for developing English language

skills

Front wants to help students with

developing their English skills by giving

them personal advice on whether or

what is necessary to increase their level.

Improving level of English of lecturers

It is important the level of English of the

lecturer is of quality. The university has

to test the quality of English and has to

regularly check it.

Increasing number of classes and flow to

higher level language course

The university has to ensure that enough

spots in language courses are provided.

Also Front wants to offer the possibility

to take follow-up courses without the

costing one of the regular 2 language

vouchers or a big sum of money.

Improving information exchange

The university has to inform students

better about the possibilities and

requirements on going on exchange.

Furthermore that Front believes that

going a semester abroad should be

done without having a delay in their

study progress.

Improving information provided to

international students about

accommodation

Tilburg University has to provide

international students a better overview

of the possibilities of accommodation. In

this overview not only housing agencies

should be provided so that a fair picture

can be provided.

Improving work-perspective international

students

Tilburg University has to better guide

international students to the Dutch labor

market. That way the investment by the

university and society will improve.

COMMUNICATION The university should students better

inform about the decision-making process

and involve them more too.

Improve study advice

Fractie Front pleads for a better study

advice and better communication from the

study advisers- and supervisors to the

students.

Improvement overview courses and

workshops

The awareness about the availability of

workshops at the University should be

enhanced by the university. This could be

done by making an clear overview in the

studyguide at blackboard.


Development instruction clips Blackboard,

COMAP and literature search

There should be clips which show the

default actions (like register for courses

and exames) in a clear way. Next to this,

Party Front pleas for an instruction clip

with explanation about the search for

literature.

Improvement of website

It is of great importance that everyone can

find easily what they need at the website.

Awareness exam registration

The university should make sure that

students are aware about the fact that they

have to subscribe for exams.

Release model exam- and response

models

Fractie Front wants that the rules

concerning the availability of example

questions are complied to. Teachers are

obligated to provide students with example

questions, in which the questions are a

reflection of the actual questions in the

exam.

Transparency in decision making

The information must be made public, so

that interested students are able to dive

into the decion making process on the

university.

Compliance to Education and Examination

Regulations

Fractie Front thinks it is important that

regulations are complied to, which also

counts for the Education and Examination

Regulations (EER) of all the faculties.

Fractie Front wants to conduct a complaint

box.

STUDENT LIFE Students should feel at home at Tilburg

University

More Hospitality establishments

Especially during the summer there is

need for more Horeca. Extra hospitality

establishments will make sure that more

students will stay at the campus after their

lectures.

Luxury coffee machine in every building of

the University

The luxury coffee corner has been well

received. Therefore Front will propose

luxury coffee machines in other buildings

as well.

Expanded openinghours library

Front will propose that the university

library is also during weekends open from

08:00.

Expanding opening hours and enhancing

price/quality ratio of the food in the Mensa

Mensa should be opened during the

weekends. Furhtermore should the

price/quality ratio be enhanced.

Open air workplaces

To offer students outside study places,

Front is advocating open air workplaces

with electricity.


Student café at the campus

Fractie Front has the opinion that students

should be more at the campus. That could

be realized by having a campuscafé.

Loungecorners in different buildings

Loungecorners should positively improve

the atmosphere at the campus. There

should be more of them.


“Going the extra mile”, doing more than

just studying. Next year, Front will again

be committed to

the active

student. Personal

development is

the main

incentive for this.

But not only the active student benefits

from what he’s doing, he also creates

chances for the people around him. Front

believes that both the university and the

student should be aware of this. Being or

becoming an active student should not

only be stimulated; it

should also be

taken into

account that the

student needs

space and

flexibility.

WORD ACTIEF TILBURG Last year, Word Actief Tilburg (an initiative

of TiGeAk, SOTS and Front) has become

an university-wide concept. WAT is

responsible for a clear awareness-

campaign about the benefits of- and

possibilities to become active next to your

study .Next year, WAT will stay committed

to this and will expand its campaign.

INTEGRATION “BEING ACTIVE

NEXT TO STUDY” IN

INFORMATION SYSTEM Front believes that also the university

should make student more aware of the

benefits of- and possibilities to become

active next to studying. Many students do

not know what being active has to offer

them, both personally and socially.

Tilburg University profiles itself with the

core message “Understanding Society”.

The integration of “being active”

informationsystem would therefore offer

the university many possibilities. If Tilburg

University wants to grow with this vision in

mind, both in numbers and quality, then

attention for the active student is crucial.

INTRODUCING MULTIPLE PILOT

STUDY DAYS When future students are in lectures

during the day they get a pretty good idea

of the study, but nog the student life of

Tilburg. Therefore the complete overlook

for the new students could be enhanced

when there are evening events. To make

sure that students will attend such

programs they will need some

accommodation. With the help of student

associations Front is vindicating for

multiple consecutive pilot study days. This

will result in more motivated students.

Less stringent requirements on the intensfication of The Excllence

Scolarships

In Strategic Plan: more attention for

student organizations.

REALIZED

REALIZED


Those students will probably make a

better study choice, because that they are

better informed.

IMPROVEMENT OF TRAINING IN

SOFT-SKILLS If you, as a student, want to prepare

yourself for the labor market, then you

should not only focus on content. Soft-

skills (like presenting, negotiating and

teaming) are not only necessary, but could

also – when trained well and deployed in a

strategic way – contribute to the strong

profiling of a student. The university offers

training and workshops to improve these

soft-skills, and also (study) associations

organize activities where students can

participate. However, Front believes that

this could be improved.

The university has to get its students

ready for the moment they’re graduated

and enter the labor market. Training of

soft-skills should therefore be included

university-wide in the studies. This is

possible through integration in courses,

but the introduction of courses especially

focusing on training of certain soft-skills

would be even more desirable. Involving

experts would be a way to guarantee the

quality of these courses. An additional,

highly important point is that this should be

regulated university-wide: each student at

Tilburg University, regardless of which

faculty this student has to do with, has to

get the chance to prepare himself on the

future in this way.

REALIZATION OF VIDEO

LECTURES

Front advocates the realisation of more

video lectures. Hereby, flexibility will

increase: not only the

active student will

benefit from this,

students will also

get the chance to

follow courses that overlap. Furthermore,

each student has the possibility to again

hear “the bigger story” around the study

material, since this will be online available

at each time. Finally, lecturers will be

stimulated to critically look at the content

of their lectures, which enlarges the

efficiency and quality of these lectures.

REPEAL MANDATORY LECTURES Teachers are eager to make sure that

students will attend their lectures. Only

Front has the opinion that the solution is

not by making lectures mandatory. Many

lectures, especially worklectures, which

are mandatory now, are been seen by

students as a waste of time and those

lectures are not a good reflection of the

subject. The responsibility of attending

lectures lies in the hands of the students

themselves. Front will therefore be against

mandatory lectures.

PROMOTION OF STUDENT

WORKPLACES

In strategic plan: no further obligations

REALIZED


The number of student workplaces will

increase in the next few years. But before

these have been realized, the demand for

workplaces will keep growing. Many

students are not aware of certain

workplaces on the

campus and in

the center of

Tilburg. To be

able to meet the

growing demand

for workplaces,

the university

should be

concerned with

the promotion

and visibility of

these student workplaces among students.

NO FURTHER INCREASE OF

ADDITIONAL DEMANDS BINDING

STUDY ADVICE

In previous years is the Binding Study

Advice (BSA) increased from 36 ECTS to

42 ECTS. In the current Strategic Plan the

plan is to raise the BSA to 48 ECTS. Front

is for now against this proposition.

The ministry of Education, Culture and

Science (OCW) has proposed an tentative

with the BSA for the second and third

bachelor years. Fractie Front is fiercely

opposed this and will nog accept any

further inhibitions for students by the BSA.

Students should be able to develop

themselves beside their studies.

Furthermore has the Board of directors of

the University made a proposal about

additional demands

for the BSA,

which could be

adjusted within

the different

faculties. For example the obligation to

accomplish certain courses to get a BSA is

not a good measurement. Fractie Front is

against this measure. A single course

should not be a threshold for gaining the

BSA.

POSSIBILITY FOR EVERY

STUDENT TO ATTEND ANY

COURSE In the curriculum of the bachelor a lot of

students have courses which are

mandatory. Sometimes it is not possible to

attend such course, although it is a

mandatory course. For example at the

TSB, sometimes students will have to

register for lectures exactly at the opening

of this new period. If students are just

moments later then the lecture could be

full and can only be attended a semester

later. Fractie Front will plead for no

hindrance and the ability for students to

apply to courses within their curriculum.

300 workplaces in the heart of Tilburg, in conjunction with

Studentenraad and Soul Café. Free wifi,

enough power supplies, coffee and

food.

Extra workplaces for master students who are working on their

thesis

Stata and other solftware also on the

library computers

Provisionally no additional

requirements on the BSA

REALIZED

REALIZED


Internationalization has become a key

theme for Front and Tilburg University and

the importance of this theme is growing

every year. The university has to follow

this trend by exchanging knowledge,

students and teachers between Tilburg

and universities abroad. Understanding

society does not only apply anymore to

just the Dutch society, the modern

definition of society is the entire global

community. The internationalization at our

university is clearly visible in the

increasing importance of the English

language and the ever growing group of

exchange students going abroad or

visiting the Tilburg University. An

international orientation also plays an

important role in the modern labour market

and the university has the responsibility to

facilitate the growth of the international

orientation of students.

SUPPORT FOR DEVELOPING

ENGLISH LANGUAGE SKILLS Choosing their study program, many

students immediately eliminate the

international ones, mainly because of the

fear of using the English language.

However, many English courses are also

found in Dutch programs. A lot of students

have trouble with writing, reading and

speaking in English. Because of this

reason, Front wants to incorporate an

assessment of their level of English into a

course of the first year of every bachelor

degree. All first year students receive

personal feedback and advice whether

and which language course is beneficial

for them. By having personal feedback,

the step to actually take a language

course is lower and makes sure that

language problems are quickly tackled, so

that they don’t keep returning later in the

student’s career.

INCREASING NUMBER OF

CLASSES AND FLOW TO HIGHER

LEVEL LANGUAGE COURSE At this moment there are not enough

places available in a multitude of language

courses from the Language Centre. A

preliminary requirement for several

exchange destinations is that a certain

level of the domestic language is required.

Tilburg University has the duty to provide

spots in the needed courses for this urgent

group of students. The problem of not

enough room within the groups is a

problem that all students who want to

follow an extra language course face.

Front wants to provide the possibility for all

students, who want to this, by creating

more groups. Also all students get only

two vouchers to follow languages courses.

When you spend them both, to follow an

extra course, it will cost the student a huge

sum of money to do another one. Front

wants the possibility for students to start a

language course, and then follow

consecutive courses as well, without


having to spend money or a voucher. By

offering this possibility, students are

motivated to do follow-up courses, so that

they can truly learn a language and not

just learn the bare basics.

IIMPROVING ENGLISH LEVEL OF

LECTURERS Tilburg University offers a multitude of

English courses and international studies.

Front is glad that the university is doing

this, but if you offer these courses, the

level of English of the lecturers should be

suited. Unfortunately Front has detected

that the level of English from several

lecturers is not according to standard. The

result is that for both Dutch and

international students it becomes hard to

understand what is being explained in the

lectures and causes the content of these

lectures to be lost. A few years ago

English has been included in the Basic

Qualification Education (BQE) for

international studies, this should have

ensured that the quality of English would

be sufficient, unfortunately it did not suffice

to fully tackle this issue. Front wants to

test the level of English of the lecturers, is

tested by an additional test. By having on

a regular basis a language test, the quality

of English will be ensured.

IMPROVEMENT INFORMATION

EXCHANGE An exchange semester is a great

opportunity for students to have an

international experience. Not only studying

abroad, but also the whole social

experience outside the lecture hall is an

important for the self-development of the

exchange student. Companies understand

the benefits of having international

experienced employees and having been

abroad is thus an ever more important

criterion in the selection of an employee.

Because of the positive impact on the

development of the student and creating a

better student for the job market, it is very

important that Tilburg University stimulates

her students to study a semester abroad.

Front believes that every single student

should have the opportunity to study

abroad, without being delayed in study

progress. After years of putting this to this

on the agenda of the university council,

the University has adopted this into their

strategic plan under the name “mobility

window”.

During the transitional phase, the time until

the ”mobility window” will get implemented,

the university should provide an

information package to all the first year

students. This package should include

information about what an exchange

contains and what is necessary for a

student to go on exchange without delay in

study progress. The information package

has to clarify which courses should be

taken in the second year, to go abroad the

third year without getting delayed.

Furthermore, the university should


improve the information services about the

requirements for the partner universities

abroad. Often, it is not clear for students

that the university they applied for has

certain language requirements.

Furthermore Tilburg University should be

clear about the language that the courses

are offered at the university abroad. The

language in which a university offers

courses should also be clarified. Too often

are people getting selected for an

exchange semester in a Spanish speaking

country, not knowing that all courses are

only offered in Spanish.

IMPROVING INFORMATION

AROUND ACCOMODATION As we speak, about 1250 international

students are taking a bachelor or master

degree program at Tilburg University. Prior

to their arrival in Tilburg, Tilburg University

sends them an information package about

accommodation in Tilburg. Among them

the Verberne apartments and as of this

year TalentSquare, are offered as possible

accommodation. The international

students are not familiar about the rent

prices in Tilburg, which means they often

choose without further consult on of these

options. Because of the lack of information

they choose a too expensive room,

especially TalentSquare is very expensive

option for international students, because

they do not receive housing benefit from

the Dutch government. Front wants that

the university gives a better and more

complete image of the market for rooms in

the city. The option of not using an

intermediary is often not included whilst

this is the primary method of finding a

room for Dutch students in Tilburg.

IMPROVE GUIDANCE TO LABOR

MARKET Tilburg University wants to be a university

that understands the society, in the

Netherlands and outside of our borders.

That means that involving international

students in the society is important. They

need to get acquainted with the Dutch

culture and labour market, this so that they

do not move away from The Netherlands

after their study. Unfortunately Tilburg

University does not provide the

international students and recent

international alumni with enough advice to

actually join the Dutch working force. Our

university has the responsibility to inform

them and provide help to enter the labour

market, this means that Front wants to

promote the Career Centre under the

international students and make them

aware of the many opportunities for a

career that are being offered by the

University and organisations in and around

the campus.


How is a student able to know what

happens within an university- or faculty

council? This is only possible when there

is open communication about the

decisions and the information is publicly

available. For the average student it is a

mystery what the councils are talking

about. Even when someone is willing to

search for information around the affairs of

the university, it is not known where to find

this information. Know what is expected

from you, and what you can expect:

something Fractie Front will commit

herself to!

IMPROVE STUDY ADVICE The quality of the current advice given by

the study advisors- and tutors needs

improvement, within the faculties and

university-wide. It is crucial that a student

gets good advice about for instance the

quality and the establishment of a career.

Party Front pleas for an adequate study

advice and better communication from the

study advisors- and tutors to the students.

IMPROVEMENT OVERVIEW

COURSES AND WORKSHOPS Party Front thinks that the university

should make an effort to get students

more aware about the courses that are

offered outside of the studies, like job

training. By having a clear representation

of all the courses and workshops in the

personal study guide on Blackboard,

students will have an overview of all the

courses and workshops given at the

university. An additional option is the

representation of the workshops offered by

student- and study associations in the

overview.

DEVELOPMENT INSTRUCTION

CLIPS BLACKBOARD, COMAP

AND LITERATURE SEARCH At the beginning of college, many students

have problems with the use of Blackboard

and COMAP. During all the years they

spent in college students use these pages

and therefore it is important that they will

get familiarized with it. Therefore, Party

Front wants the university to take

responsibility and develop instruction clips

for Blackboard and COMAP. These clips

should show the default actions (like

register for courses and exames) in a clear

way. Next to this, Party Front pleas for an

instruction clip with explanation about the

search for literature.

IMPROVEMENT OF WEBSITE The website of Tilburg University is many

times considered to be unclear and

confusing. Party Front finds that the

website of Tilburg University should be

clear and simple and therefore should be

improved. Future students, current

students and employees must be able to

find all the information they need on the

website.


AWARENESS EXAM

REGISTRATION Currently, a student gets a fine of €25,-

when he or she did not register for an

exam before the closing date and still

wants to participate. Party Front believes

that the university should take the

responsibility to develop a way to make

students more aware of the closing dates

for registration. A possibility for this can be

pop-ups that appear when a student

registers for a course.

RELEASE EXAM- AND RESPONSE

MODELS Fractie Front wants that the rules

concerning the availability of example

questions are complied to. Teachers are

obligated to provide students with example

questions, in which the questions are a

reflection of the actual questions in the

exam.

Next to this, Fractie Front pleas that the

response models of assignments and

exams will become available for students.

Teachers should argue why they gave a

certain grade, using these models. This

gives more control with granting certain

grades and it gives the opportunity for

students to learn about their mistakes.

Because of this, students know their points

to improve and can use this further in their

studies.

TRANSPARENCY IN DECISION

MAKING In general, students do not know about the

decision making within the university

council and the faculty councils. With the

‘Pleekrant”, which can be found in the

bathrooms of the library since March,

Fractie Front reaches a lot of students

already. However, the comprehensive

information is not

provided. The

papers and

minutes of the

council meetings

are only available

via a link, which you only can get on

request. Fractie Front wants the university

to take responsibility for making the

decision making on the university

transparent. The information must be

made public, so that interested students

are able to dive into the decision making

process on the university.

COMPLIANCE TO EDUCATION

AND EXAMINATION

REGULATIONS Compliance to marking period

Fractie Front thinks it is important that

regulations are complied to, which also

counts for the Education and Examination

Regulations (EER) of all the faculties.

It happens too much that a student hands

in an assignment or makes an exam and it

takes too long to receive their feedback

and grade. The rules fort his are

Bigger reach of students via the

‘Pleekrant’

REALIZED


determined in the EER, which are

described in the appendix.

Feedback grades

In every EER it is determined that each

student has the possibility to inspect their

written exam. This way, students are able

to take note from the questions and

assignments in an exam and also from the

standards that are used to determine the

grade. Fractie Front has learned that

students do not know which standards

they are tested on. It is important that

students are notified that they can inspect

their exam and discuss which standards

they have or have not met. Since this is

determined in the EER, Fractie Front

wants to commit herself to make sure that

these regulations will be followed.

Knowledge database and complaint box

Many students do not know that they are

protected by the EER. If they are known

with it, they do not know what this means.

Fractie Front pleas for a knowledge

database, which contains the ‘frequently

asked questions’ about the EER. In this

way it is clear for students when they are

in their right when they think that rules are

not complied to.

Of course it is important that something

happens with the violations. To tackle the

problems mentioned above, Fractie Front

wants to conduct a complaint box. Every

student can report their complaints when

the rules in the EER are violated. When

this happens, it should be clear that the

agreed sanctions should be followed.


Tilburg University Tilburg University has a

unique compact campus in the

Netherlands. The campus has an

abundance of features of its own, not only

because of the forest at the west side. The

properties of this unique campus make

sure that the University is never

abandoned and students spend lots of

time here. Therefore is it of great

importance that the students feel secure at

the campus. The campus has to be

welcoming students. Fractie Front will

make sure that the student feels even

more connected with the campus and

therefore spending even more time at the

University.

MORE HOSPITALITY

ESTABLISHMENTS Café Esplanade is the only café at the

campus, but offers not enough space for

students. Too often are students rejected

at the entrance because of the lack of a

big terrace. Therefore students are not

able to relax at the campus after their

lectures. This problem could be solved by

expanding the terrace of Esplanade Café.

Furthermore it should be possible to stay

longer at the Café in the evening. To

realize that, the opening hours should be

expended. Especially during the summer

the capacity is a big problem, therefore

Front is working on expanding the

hospitality establishment.

LUXURIOUS COFFEE MACHINE IN

EVERY BUILDING OF THE

UNIVERSITY In 2013 Fractie Front ensured a luxury

coffee machine in the coffee corner of the

library. This has been well received by

students and

therefore Front

actively promotes

luxury coffee

machines for

every building at the University. In tentamenperiodes moet de student zo

goed mogelijk worden gefaciliteerd.

Fractie Front vindt daarom dat de

universiteitsbibliotheek in deze periodes

ook in het weekend vanaf 8:00 uur

geopend moet zijn.

EXPANDING OPENING HOURS

LIBRARY During exam weeks the student should be

provided with all what is necessary to

perform. Fractie Front

will reach this goal

by opening the

library daily from

8.00 am, also in

the weekends.

HOURS AND ENHANCING

PRICE/QUALITY RATIO OF

FOOD IN THE MENSA There are too few options for students to

have a lunch or dinner close to the

campus, therefore should the Mensa be

opened during weekends. Also the quality

of the food should be enhanced and the

prices should be more adapted to a nice

price/ quality ratio.

OPEN AIR WORKPLACES Students will study with nice wether rather

outside than inside, but it is not possible

yet at the campus. Therefore if the wether

is good, then the students could study

outside, but only if we realize outside

workplaces with electricity.

STUDENT CAFÉ AT CAMPUS In the long run Front sees more cohesion

from students with the university when

there is a campus café. This cafe should

be exploited by students for students.

Consuming prices should be low and as a

result of that, an increasing cohesion

between students. This idea is not new, in

other city’s it has proven itself. Tilburg

should follow!

LOUNGE CORNERS IN SEVERAL

BUILDINGS Fractie Front has the opinion that the

atmosphere of the lounge corners in for

example the Academia building could be

enhanced. The atmosphere at the campus

would be aided by creating more lounge

corners.


For your interest in the plans of Fractie

Front.

The election program will serve as a

handbook for the academic year 2014-

2015. With the aid of the three pillars and

an overarching fourth subject of interest

we attempt to increase the habitability of

the campus and Tilburg as student city.

Besides the election program front will of

course attend every work path with a

proactive attitude and we will always go

the extra mile. Front will go the extra mile

for students who attempt that too.

For now, we hope to have informed the

reader sufficiently, however, if you have
