Following the abolition of the basic grant, the Minister of Education, Culture and Science, Bussemaker, gave university councils the right to give their approval to the broad outlines of the budget. The content of these outlines is determined for each institution. Fractie SAM has ensured that all strategic resources fall under the right of approval, as do the resources released from the lending system. In addition, fractie SAM has ensured that the faculty councils also have the right of consent to the main lines of the faculty budget, which Tilburg University initially did not want.
