This is outrageously unacceptable and president Erdogan should rethink this decision. Academics are the eye of the society and should be given freedom at all cost. Assistant Professor of Political Science, University of Juba, South Sudan.

The move against academic freedom is an abomination. Human dignity and freedom demand that this purge end now.
