University of Helsinki
Dear colleagues,
Universities in Finland are undergoing the worst crisis of their history. In this country, known as a model for highly valuing education, research and teaching, universities are currently sites of abrupt dismissals without fair evaluation, cuts and imperious managerialism. University personnel, students, family members and citizens in many different fields and occupations are signing a petition for changing the dangerous and detrimental course of development of the university institution, which should be considered “a common” for its key critical and formative role in society.
Support for this petition also from abroad is needed. The petition can be signed at http://yliopistokaanne.fi/in-english/
Sincerely,
Yrjö Engeström
