نگرانی دانشگاهيان جهان

نگرانی استادان دانشگاه‌های جهان از اوضاع دانشگاه‌های ايران
ما استادان و مدیران دانشگاه‌های مختلف جهان نگرانی عمیق خود را از وضعیت وخیم دانشگاه‌های ایران٬ به ویژه پس ازانتخابات اخیر رئیس جمهوری ابراز می‌داریم. تمامی شواهد بر آن است كه مقامات دولتی در گیر سركوبی عمده در دانشگاه‌های ایران هستند و قصد دارند كه آزادی‌های آكادمیك را از این هم بیش‌تر زیر پا بگذارند.
ما دلائل و شواهدی داریم كه استادان و دانشجویان در خطر جدی هستند. به خوابگاه‌های دانشجوئی حمله شده٬ و تعدادی از استادان از جمله رئیس سابق دانشگاه تهران٬ دكتر محمد ملكی٬ دستگیر و زندانی شده‌اند. وحشت، دانشگاه‌های كشور را فرا گرفته كه «انقلاب فرهنگی» جدیدی٬ با عواقبی فاجعه‌بار مشابه انقلاب فرهنگی اول٬ در بهار ١٩٨٠ در راه است. چنین اقدامی به اخراج هزاران استاد و دانشجو كه مخالف سیاست‌های سركوب گرانه‌ی رژیم هستند منجر شده ٬ و دانشگاه‌های ایران بیش از پیش از استانداردهای آكادمیك و فعالیت‌های علمی تهی خواهند شد.

نداهائی سر داده می‌شوند كه باید «علوم انسانی» با نظارت روحانیون مورد بازبینی قرار گیرد و دانشكده‌ها برای صدور مدارك قلابی برای اشخاص بی‌صلاحیت و وابسته به مقامات با نفوذ٬ تحت فشار قرار می‌گیرند . همكاران ما بطور دائم تحت مراقبت و كنترل واحدهای متعدد امنیتی و اطلاعاتی كه در محوطه‌های دانشگاه‌ها فعالند٬ قرار دارند٬ و دانشجویان كماكان در معرض سیستم سركوبگر «ستاره‌دار شدن» و خطر اخراج از دانشگاه‌ها هستند .
ما قاطعانه مداخلات سیاسی در امور آكادمیك را محكوم می‌كنیم و خواستار آن هستیم كه تعرض به حریم دانشگاه‌های ایران بلافاصله و بی هیچ قید و شرطی متوقف شود.
