Reader Emerita in Philosophy, University of Warwick, UK. Academic freedom is integral to democracy. This includes freedom to travel and to write, publish, teach and study in a spirit of democratic exchange. The current purge of Universities in Turkey needs to be immediately stopped and reversed.

The scale of this "purge" and the rapidity with which it has been applied is clear evidence that it was a pre-meditated device, kept on the "back-burner" just for a "suitable" occasion.

Academic purges undermine the very foundation of higher education, and they taint its goals.
