Dear friends:

I am more appalled every day by the utter blindness and stupidity of the administration at Middlesex University.

Students want to continue studying Philosophy; teachers and researchers are committed to continuing the programs in Philosophy; and the University administration decides to suspend them from further contact with their colleagues? In the name of what?

An institution capable of putting whatever political, economical or ideological motives it may have before all academic and intellectual considerations simply is not worthy of the name “University.”

Solidarity with your struggle and bon courage!
