Alle universiteiten en hogescholen
schrappen het onderwijs.De betrokken
organisaties,de Vereniging Hogescholen
en de Vereniging van Universiteiten
geven met het besluit gehoor aan een

In een brief van Bruins staat dat "op

De gebouwen blijven voor zover mogelijk
open voor andere activiteiten.Wel heeft
een aantal universiteiten tentamens en
promoties uitgesteld.
