Turkey’s President has ordered the establishment of two new departments in the country’s most prestigious university, which has been rocked by weeks of protests. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s decision, published in the Official Gazette Saturday, says law and communications faculties are to be launched in Bogazici University.
Critics say the establishment of new departments would allow the presidentially appointed rector to staff them with government loyalists. Student groups involved in the protests tweeted against the new decision, saying it was an occupation attempt against academic freedoms.
