This is a dismissal without due process -- an egregious encroachment to academic freedom and a blow to the University's reputation.

This appears to be in clear violation of the principle of academic freedom.

This action of an administration threatens academic freedom and leadership in all Universities.

If what the nature article states is right, the reasons to fire thybo are unacceptable.
Shame on copenhagen for having such low considerations on the carreer of a scientist.
I would personally call for a removal of the dean to let such outrageous act happen. This is a dangerous legal precedent for all scientists in academia where their position could be jeopardized anytime by an university council corrupted by a single man (most likely having personal issues with Pr Thybo)

Unaccepatble. This reveals arbitrariness and despotism of those responsible for such a decision.

The reasons of firing Professor Hans Thybo given by the University of Copenhagen are nonsense to me.

Copenhagen cannot expect international academic cooperation and constructive relationships when it acts in this fashion

I find incredible to sack such a prestigious scientist (President of the European Geosciences Union!) for such insignificant facts.

I support Hans Thybo and ask the university of Copenhaguen to support its independant academics instead of firing them despite the decrease in funds allocated to research by the current government.

The reasons for firing Hans are completely inadequate. Difficult to imagine that University of Copenhagen actually did that. Urge to reconsider!

Unfortunately, we see more and more of such inacceptable behaviors from our administrations.
