‘Symbolic power’: Melih Bulu was fired after months of campus protests Academics in Turkey say they have won a rare victory for university autonomy after a politically appointed rector was dismissed following six months of protest. The firing of Melih Bulu, a former ruling party candidate who was appointed at Boğaziçi University by the president in January, could be a turning point in the fight for academic freedom, they hope, which has come under intense pressure since a failed coup attempt in 2016. Professor Bulu’s outside appointment − under a 2018 law that allows president Recep Tayyip Erdoğan to choose rectors – sparked student and faculty protests at Boğaziçi, a highly selective institution with a strong tradition of democratically picking its leaders from within.
