CAF Letter Regarding the Government Sanctioned Campaign Against Boğaziçi University, Its Students, Faculty and Institutional Structure
[The following letter was issued by the in Turkey.]
T.C. Cumhurbaşkanlığı Genel Sekreterliği
Dear President Erdoğan:
We write on behalf of the Middle East Studies Association (MESA) of North America and its Committee on Academic Freedom to express our outrage over the escalation of the government-sanctioned campaign against Boğaziçi University and its professors. We wrote to you on 4 February 2021 to express our dismay concerning the detention and mistreatment of Boğaziçi University students protesting against the appointment of Melih Bulu a member of your political party as rector of the university. We now write to condemn both attacks against the university’s faculty and your politically motivated decision to alter the academic structure of Boğaziçi University.
