Utrecht University concerned about Turkish academics and students

Today Turkey announced that Turkish academics and students who are temporarily working or participitaing in an exchange programme in the Netherlands, may be called back to Turkey by their home university. Utrecht University follows this development with great concern and has set up an information point for any questions or worries from Turkish students and academics.

We concur with the view of all Dutch universities, as stated in a short statement by the VSNU. Through this statement, we call attention to the importance of academic freedom.
