De Leidsche Flesch tends the bar!

As soon as it's 5 o'clock, there is one place we all run towards. Of course I'm talking about De Fusie! Though having some drinks there is already lots of fun, the real Fusie-experience can be found behind the bar. On the 4th of December we as De Leidsche Flesch are supplying the bartenders, and thus this is your chance to have this great experience! There are shifts of 2 hours tending the bar between 17:00 and 23:00, so be sure to sign up by mailing to intern@deleidscheflesch.nl or coming by the FK!

Long Term Policy survey

We need your opinion!

We are in the process of creating a new long term policy for De Leidsche Flesch and we would like to know your views on a few topics, such as committee work, vegetarian food and internationalisation, among others. The long term policy will determine the future of DLF over the next few years, so your opinion matters! Please fill in the survey, which you can find here; it will only take around half an hour. Thanks!

Oh, and if you’re interested in the results, do attend the General Members’ Meeting in November where we will present a summary.

FAIR-ASSESS

Monday 1 December

We want to make sure that assessments – exams, papers, presentations – remain fair, or become more fair, now that students and teachers have access to GenAI technologies.

To this end, Leiden University's FAIR-ASSESS project organises a deliberative assembly to formulate rules for GenAI use in assessments. The assembly will gather 49 people - students and teachers - within our university (7 for each faculty).

You can be one of them! Apply here: https://tally.so/r/w207Kj.
A deliberative assembly?

A deliberative assembly brings together a group of people to engage with a complex topic. The group receives and exchanges information, critically examines the problem, and makes recommendations on how to deal with it. This way, policy decisions are informed by those who are affected by them.

This is the first deliberative assembly held at a university to discuss how fairness of assessments can be increased in the age of GenAI. The results of this deliberation will inform assessment policies at Leiden University and potentially beyond.

The programme will take place on four afternoons from mid-January to early February 2026.

What's in it for me?

✹ An opportunity to influence university policies on the use of GenAI

✹ Direct experience with a deliberative process to inform decision-making

✹ A participation certificate attesting that you contributed to an advisory report with guidelines for GenAI use in assessment practices at Leiden University

✹ Upon consent, shared authorship of this report

✹ Learn about the implications of GenAI use from different points of view

✹ Get to know other students and academic staff across all seven faculties of Leiden University

✹ For students only: a financial compensation of €150 after attending of all four sessions


When are the assembly meetings planned? 

📅 Thursday 15th, 22nd, 29th of January and 12th of February

🕐 From 12:30 to 17:30 (lunch is included)

📍 The first three sessions will take place on the campus in The Hague, the last session will be in Leiden


You can apply for the deliberative assembly under this link: https://tally.so/r/w207Kj.

FAIR-ASSESS is supported by Leiden University’s Faculty of Governance and Global Affairs. The deliberation is organised together with Dembrane, a start-up specialised in deliberative processes.
