First of all, the university is a place for the academic activities, where under a full autonomy of the students and the academic staff can have an independent learning, teaching and research, as well as both parties must have the capability to fully express their civic position and general views.
It is unacceptable to use external forces, government agencies or other groups to interfere with the university actions and/or attempt to influence the students. It is absolutely unacceptable to try to politicize the current process.
We express our
willingness to cooperate with all parties concerned if any students' union

We hope that students, faculty and university authorities will resolve current
problems through a constructive dialogue, in order to avoid any kind of
provocation of confrontation between the parties.
