Thanks. I only heard about Delft from a woman studying there, and didn't hear any complaints. I guess PhD students cannot run as easily, so they get the short end :(

Actually, I was loosely considering applying there, this made sure I won't. That stuff needs to be made more public, so that their reputation noticeably suffers. Only then will people care to enact change.

Thanks so much for these links. I haven’t had time to look into Dutch sources. I have two good female friends doing their PhDs in other universities in the Netherlands in the sciences, and I’ve never heard anything even remotely close to this! They love their positions.

This is a pretty holistic article on all the "badness" in english https://delta.tudelft.nl/en/article/victims-of-social-unsafety-always-draw-the-short-straw-at-tu-delft-an-official-report-that-would-be-the-end-of-me

Edit: Just generally read a bit on delta if you want to know more. It's the Uni press. They even got censored by the university when they first reported some of this if I recall correctly.
