This seems to be an extremely non-rational thing I ever heard. The University should look into this issue very carefully. Remember that the entire academic world is watching.

Based on the information available the grounds for dismissal seems totally inappropriate.

Hans Thybo is an excellent scientist and leader of European geoscience. The University management has presented no adequate evidence for his dismissal.

The official justifications for this sacking are petty in the extreme and reflect very poorly on the University of Copenhagen.

Administration of University of Copenhagen needs to be sacked and Dr. Thybo reinstated.

Whatever the facts, university administrators should encourage an open dialogue between all members of a university community, even if it includes critical opinions of management.

The reasons given are ridiculous. University of Copenhagen needs to explain its real reasons, or reverese its decision.

Is the University of Copenhagan so weak and insecure it can't cope with perceived deviation from a managerial 'norm'?

This demonstrates that the University of Copenhagen cannot be a leading university because it does not tolerate freedom of thinking and speaking.

We all want respect, to be treated honestly, fairly. So does Professor Thybo.

I do not know the details in this conflict, but the arguments given for the dismissal simply cannot justify dismissal of any academic person.

Hard to believe that the reasons known to the public are sufficient to fire a well-recognized or any scientist. Unbelievable!

After having read in several sources about this, I have the feeling that persons who might deserve dismissal are in the U o C leadership...what are they called nowadays, CEO?

The reasons given by the University are unacceptable. A University is not a business Corporation.
