Leicester Üniversitesi (saf) matematik bölümü kapanma tehlikesi altında. Bu tehdit daha önce de olmuştu ama tepkiler sonucunda üniversite yönetimi teklifi geri çekmişti. Üniversitede çalışanlar kamuoyu oluşturabilmek için imza kampanyası başlatmışlar. İmza kampanyasına katılmak isterseniz linki aşağıda.</div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">Tabii bizim için daha önemli konu Boğaziçi üniversitesinde yaşananlar. Türkiye’nin en iyi üniversitelerinden birine akademik yeterliliği kuşkulu, üniversitenin kabul edemeyeceği bir rektörün tamamen siyasi sebeplerle atanması anlaşılır bir şey değil. Orada çalışan matematikçi arkadaşlara sabırlar diliyorum, umarım sorunlar en kısa sürede hallolur ve herkes eski ortamında işine gücüne döner. Ama doğrusu bu konuda çok umudum yok, görünen o ki hepimizi akademik hayatta daha da zor günler bekliyor.</div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">Ergün</div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr"><br><br><br><br>Begin forwarded message:<br><br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr"><b>From:</b> "Barnea, Y" <Y.Barnea@rhul.ac.uk><br><b>Date:</b> 1 February 2021 14:04:08 GMT+3<br><b>To:</b> group-pub-forum@lists.maths.bath.ac.uk<br><b>Subject:</b> <b>[group-pub-forum] FW: [EXT] Leicester pure maths crisis - petition</b><br><b>Reply-To:</b> "Barnea, Y" <Y.Barnea@rhul.ac.uk><br><br></div></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr">
