Bosphorus University's fight for academic freedom

By Centre County Report, Cady Barcak

For more than 1,000 days, faculty at Bosphorus University in Turkey have protested the government's practice of appointing university leadership, rather than upholding the traditional way through faculty elections. The government's role in higher education now allows for faculty and staff to be removed for disagreeing with or criticizing President Erdogan's agenda and policies. Reporter Cady Barcak explains more about when this practice started and what it means for higher education in Turkey.
