Students protested the new university president
There were clashes with the police. On Saturday, Erdogan appointed the new director, Melih Polo, who ran for the ruling conservative Islamist party, the Justice and Development Party, on Saturday. As president, Erdogan has the right to appoint presidents. Among other things, students criticize the director’s proximity to the AKP and the appointment as undemocratic. They are claiming the right to elect their manager.
