Chinese student Feng Fang received a striking number of 173 votes, although he was in 24th position for Groep-één. It’s the best score after the list’s top three. In comparison, his party leader Lars Beke received 198 votes. According to Beke, the preference for Feng illustrates ‘internationalization is becoming ever more important at TU/e’. Still, Feng will not get a seat in the University Council. “Not yet, but we’ll be keeping our eyes on him, definitely ”, Beke assures us.
