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.
