Free and independent universities are a core element of any democratic society. The curtailment of academic freedom is one of the first signs of democracy under threat. I want to urge you to halt and reverse the purge of Turkish universities.

Political norms mean that opposition to a government or a party does not in any sense imply opposition to the state, constitution, or institution of government as such; and certainly cannot be the basis for inference to any support for military rule or the participation of the military in the transfer of power. This can only be contrued as an attack on academic values of criticism, critique, free scholarship, and public speech.

I spend three years teaching at a university in Turkey and loved being in the country. Its educators deserve much better than this!
