As an academic deeply committed to the concept of academic freedom and the right of all to a fair and unbiased system of education, I strongly condemn the recent removal of thousands of teachers and staff from their jobs.

I condemn the recent attacks on academic freedom. This is not democracy, this is despotism.

The preservation and protection of academic freedom is a necessary condition of education, especially higher education. Different political, religious and economic convictions should not trump academic integrity. Authoritarianism has no place in higher education.
