A total of 330 academics were expelled with a new state of emergency decree published in the Official Gazette late on Feb. 7, drawing criticism from the opposition and the scholars themselves about the effect the moves will have on education.
The academics were among 4,464 public workers who were expelled as part of the decree.
The expulsion of the academics also drew reactions from political parties, with main opposition Republican People’s Party (CHP) lawmakers Sezgin Tanrıkulu and Aykut Erdoğdu criticizing the decision.
“Dear academics, all those who faced injustices: These days will pass and the justice will be served,” CHP Istanbul lawmaker Sezgin Tanrıkulu said, while Erdoğdu, another Istanbul lawmaker, said those who “carry out the expulsions will carry the shame for the rest of their lives.”
Opposition Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP) also reacted against the decree, with HDP Istanbul lawmaker Filiz Kerestecioğlu saying that “students and professors don’t accept being dictated to.”

Erdogan gone wild?
Hope his talk to President Trump today was "interesting".
Just noticed the spelling:
Aykut Er doğ du
Upps! I by mistake was picking on a reporter instead of Erdogan.
Meant to be ER_DOG_an
He is certainly a Dog.
They are lucky he didn’t have them all killed.
He rescinded that. The heads were literally chopped off the military officers he chose.
I know he has done that. Saw a pic right after he did the fake coup.....many men in a hanger or big room, naked, hands tied behind their backs. Stacked like wood.
Am told there is a video of the ones they marched on a bridge and cut off their heads. He is as bad as ISIS, which he and Obozo partnered with.
Yep...I put isis and edorogen on the same level.
