The failure of a coup should be an occasion to celebrate the strength of Turkey's democracy, not an occasion to destroy it.

I used to work at a private university in Turkey as recently as early 2015. I feel for my colleagues there. We never thought it would come to this. Shameful.

This is outrageous , academia exists to challenge conventional thinking. You need to provide a protective and safe environment for academics involved in teaching and research
