Strategic camouflage? de Vries manipulated the #ERC system to secure €1.5M. By submitting a neutral proposal, his #altright network remained hidden from the committee. Once he had secured his permanent post at #UGhent, his agenda concerning racial science came to light. apache.be/2025/12/22/f...

Even in the unlikely scenario that no one else had actually applied with more robust qualifications than
Cofnas, and he was therefore ranked as the most suitable candidate, there was clearly an error in
judgment on the part of the supervisor, Bouke de Vries, regarding the subsequent handling of the
appointment process. He was fully aware that Cofnas’s stigmatizing remarks in Cambridge had led to
widespread protest and the termination of collaboration by Emmanuel College. He was also aware that
his arrival would cause great concern among colleagues in our department, as several members had
previously expressed their dissatisfaction when De Vries wished to invite Cofnas to give a guest lecture
(see 3.3). Regardless of Bouke de Vries’s personal assessment of the acceptability of Cofnas’s offensive
blog posts, it was therefore entirely foreseeable that the arrival of this controversial researcher would
have a detrimental impact on the atmosphere within the department. Against this background, one
would expect a collegial ZAP member to adopt a responsible attitude and contact the department chair,
the faculty board, and/or the university administration to inform them of this delicate situation, so that
the necessary precautions could be taken (such as seeking legal advice regarding the employment of
individuals who may have violated anti-racism legislation and/or the host institution’s code of ethics;
determining whether this hiring is compatible with safeguarding the well-being within the department
and the program, etc.). Bouke de Vries took the exact opposite approach, with all the disastrous
consequences that entailed.
