I therefore call upon President Erdoğan to reverse course and to respect the independence of academic institutions and the academic freedom of their faculty and students.

This is an act similar to what happened in Germany in the 40s. It is very scary to see this happening again. I feel sick, horrified and disgusted by the wantless destruction that is taking place. Please, please lets stop this!!!!

The situation is appalling. This is not democratic practice and it is unjust
