Objet : faculty suspensions
Dear Michael Partridge,
The recent suspensions of philosophy faculty and students at Middlesex
are nothing short of a terrible strike against political justice and
the vitality of thought in the British university system. I would
like to add my name to the list of those worldwide who clamor to
reverse the decision to penalize those protesting the closing of
Philosophy at Middlesex – a beacon department to so many – as well as
the initial decision to shut down the department by fiat.
Sincerely yours,
Emily Apter
