Prof. Dr. Cem Say has taken a new step against the rectorate crisis at Boğaziçi University, which began with the appointment of Melih Bulu and continued with Naci İnci, by announcing his candidacy.
According to a report by Cumhuriyet, Say expressed the motivation behind his decision to run with the following words:
"The situation at Boğaziçi University is clear. Anyone in Turkey who does not hate Boğaziçi can manage this university better than the current administration. I became a candidate in the hope that I could contribute to stopping this process of destruction."
Furthermore, Say emphasized that, concurrent with his candidacy process, he has been notified of a disciplinary penalty that was issued to him months ago but only recently communicated.
