Petition: STUDENTS
SUPPORT PROF. BULENT TANOR
Date: 11/28/2002

http://www.thePetitionSite.com/takeaction/380523746
We have learned that
the President of the Istanbul University
has asked the Higher
Education Board, the overseeing authority, to discipline Professor Bulent Tanor
by expelling him from his tenured position at the University. A respected
teacher and treasured lawyer, Professor Tanor has written a report on
"Raising the Standards of Democracy in Turkey" for
the Turkish
Businessmen and Association (TUSIAD) and been paid a royalty. Article 36 of the
Higher Education Law clearly permits faculty to earn royalties; and the
initiative to castigate Professor Tanor for this reason ignores the law.
This unlawful act is
intentional. Hundreds of University members write similar reports for
royalties. The movement to single out Prof. Tanor and punish him is not only
unjust, it also represents a very dangerous development regarding
democratization of the country and is a harmful step against scientific and
intellectual independence in Turkey.
We, the undersigned,
support and stand by Professor Tanor!

Ulkemizin en degerli
ve en saygın hukukcularından Prof. Dr. Bulent
TANOR'un, Istanbul Universitesi Rektörü tarafından
üniversite öğretim
üyeliği mesleginden
cikarma cezası istemiyle Yüksek Ogretim Kuruluna
sevkedilmesini derin
bir uzuntuyle karsiliyoruz. Tanor,
TUSIAD'a
"Demokratik
Standartların Yukseltilmesi" konulu bir kitap hazırlamis ve
telif ucreti
almistir. YOK kanunundaki 36. maddenin
ogretim uyelerine
telif hakkı
karsiligi calısmalar yapma iznini acik olarak vermesine
karsin, yasa maddesi bilincli bir sekilde gozardı
edilerek Tanor'e ceza
verilmek istenilmesi
keyfi ve kasitlidir. Nitekim
universitelerimizde
yuzlerce hoca
cesitli kuruluslar icin cok farkli konularda Bulent
Tanor'un hazırladigi
turde calismalari telif ucreti karsiliginda
hazirlamislardir, hazirlamaktadirlar. Tanör'e meslekten cikarma
cezasının
verilmesini nesnel ve adil bulmuyoruz;
bu durumu ülkemizin
hukuku, bilim hayatı, demokrasisi ve üniversiteleri açısından vahim
bir olay olarak
niteliyoruz. Değerli hocamizin yanında oldugumuzu
kamuoyuna duyurmayi
gorev sayiyoruz.
