I do support the protest against the dismissal of professor Thybo and the reasons given by the University for this.

I've known Hans for more than 25 years. The nicest and most principle driven person. And definitely, an outstanding scientist! He's been a mentor for me and helped me in many ways throughout the years. Cannot believe this ...

This arbitrary sacking should be reviewed by an independent panel of academics from outside the University of Copenhagen and Professor Thybo should have the opportunity to defend himself without prejudice. The reasons given for the dismissal seem extremely flimsy and the university does not appear to be acting with the transparency or impartiality that one would expect in a such distinguished institution.

I can't believe that such arbitrary things happen in Denmark. The reasons given would be laughable if the case was no that worrying. The Danish university must react to save its reputation and preserve its integrity.

I can't believe that. Prof. Thybo is kind and professional.

I have enjoyed working with Dr. Thybo for many years and have the highest respect for his professionalism. He has my full support.

Dear Prof. NN,
Why are you hiding your name? Are you perhaps the Dean or another one of those who sacked Thybo?

Thank you for you comment
The point of the petition is
1. to obtain more information.
2. that a professor should not be fired if the reasons that are given are not valid ones. So far thos given are No way valid.
We do have limited information, and it IS one sided, as the university administration has so far NOT provided any.
I hope they will do so rapidly.
Would you consider a scientific contribution presented by an anonymous author?

Im surprised to see so many colleagues from academia signing a petition for a case which you must know you have very limited and only one-sided information on. Would you be ready to draw fast and loose conclusions on your research, knowing that at best you have only half the needed information? I dont think so - so why do it in this case?

What has happened to Academic Freedom at the University of Copenhagen? These are shameful grounds for dismissal.

As a doctoral student, I am very concerned by the dismissal of Professor Thybo. He is an extremely well-regarding scientist and his research has been very influential over the course of my studies. I do not believe that there is any evidence that his dismissal is warranted and urge the university to review this decision urgently.
