On January 5, three years ago, faculty members at Boğaziçi University turned their backs on the appointed rector and the rectorate building, who was appointed by President and AKP Chairman Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.

Boğaziçi University Rectorate has initiated a disciplinary investigation against the faculty members who participated in the 15-minute silent protest. The protests are alleged to be "in violation of the law" and have a "disruptive effect on the functioning of the university."
