I am excited and honored to give this lecture in support of the faculty and students at #bogaziciuniversity who are fighting the authoritarian encroachment of the Erdogan regime. 🇹🇷 ✊
Obviously, people who use this tweet to defend Erdogan's authoritarian regime will be blocked.
It's been 5 years since a group of academics in and outside #Turkey issued a petition urging for peace, an act that resulted in terrorism-related allegations, criminal investigations, arrests, dismissals, travel bans, and other coercive acts.
5 years on, thousands of academics in Turkey, along with their families, still suffer from the state's legal, professional, economic, social, and emotional punishments. "Civil death" has left so many of them stigmatized and unable to freely pursue their careers & scholarly work.
As the assault on #Turkey's #HigherEd community continues -- especially at #BoğaziçiUniversity -- we must double down on protecting and promoting #AcademicFreedom, #InstitutionalAutonomy, and other values and freedoms that are fundamental to strong, healthy universities.
İki gündür herkesin kafasında aynı soru, Boğaziçi’nde ne oluyor, gözaltılar ne anlama geliyor, gözaltındaki arkadaşlarımıza ne olacak? Hazırsanız başlıyoruz floodumuza
1. İlk olarak gözaltına alınanların öğrenci olmadığı iddiası ile başlayalım. Gözaltına alınanların hepsi öğrenci, tamamı İstanbul’daki üniversitelerde okuyorlar, gözaltındaki öğrencilerden sadece biri lise öğrencisi+
2. Diğeri ise gözaltıların örgüt faaliyeti kapsamında yapıldığı iddiası, bu da gerçeği yansıtmamakta, şu an gözaltındaki öğrenciler hakkında 2911 sayılı Toplantı ve Gösteri Yürüyüşleri Yasası’na muhalefet ve görevli memura direnme iddiası ile soruşturma devam etmekte+
