Dear Turkey, the Coup was a bad thing. But don't allow it to be a pretext to blame people who had nothing to do it. Khurrum Siddique

This is the worst outrage against an oppresses people. Freedom of expression is the basis of a free and open society. By taking away academic rights to free expression you are shutting people up in a dark box while you save your own paltry life and greed for power. Give it up.

Calling for the blanket resignation of all Deans, as has been reported in RT (https://www.rt.com/news/352218-turkey-academics-ban-travel/), undermines any academic role for legitimate criticism, and is a politics that can only be characterized as a purge -- and an indiscriminate one, at that.
