In 2017 it became known that there was a conflict between the University of Leiden and IJzendoorn. IJzendoorn was supposed to sign a cease and desist declaration, according to which he refrains from commenting on the work of his colleagues and sees it as an interference with his academic independence. The university denies the encroachment on academic freedom, claiming that it was only about creating a respectful working atmosphere.
