PhD candidate, The University of Western Ontario It looks like though the coup failed, Turkey has still ended up with a military state. I recall a quote from Erdogan, as recounted by the king of Jordan in an interview, where he says that democracy is like a bus ride "once I get to my stop, I’m getting off." Clearly, he has reached his stop, and now it's Turkey that's being taken for a ride.

President Erdogan is exploiting the failed coup to add to his own power.

I express my deep concern and solidarity with my colleagues in Turkey. Pluralism and academic freedom are important elements in a democratic society.

In solidarity with colleagues in Turkey and in the defense of academic freedom, I join others and call upon President Erdoğan to reverse course and to respect the independence of academic institutions and the academic freedom of their faculty and students.

Gravely concerned by these developments. Dialogue between scholars, nationally, and internationally, can only strengthen a nation.
