VHL going solo on communication
End of merger becomes a reality.
No more Resource for VHL.
Goodbye and thank you
'Some ties are easy to break,' says head of Communications Marc Lamers. 'Others take a little longer.' For example, people at Communications are still figuring out how VHL's access to the intranet can be cancelled. 'These are technical platforms and adjusting them takes a bit more than a push of a button.'
In other areas the ending of the merger is more complicated. Talks are going on, for instance, about ICT and other support services. As to how these negotiations are going, the university is keeping its mouth firmly shut. The only thing Lamers will say is that they are conducted in a very friendly spirit. 'It is not a question of pulling the plug out, and "goodbye and thank you". We are looking together for the most sensible way of organizing it.'
