Hi All, Passing on information about a situation at Sofia University in Bulgaria, Anne
"An open letter to anyone with working relationships to Sofia University, The Sofia University of National and World Economy, Foundation for European Progressive Studies Scientific Council, about the hate speech and promotion of racism and ethnic hatred in the lectures of Prof. M. Mirchev in his course "Social work with ETHNO groups" The Student Society for Equality at Sofia University is requesting international support in strongly opposing the promotion, association or employment of Prof. M. Mirchev based on the ongoing lecture series "Social work with ETHNO groups" at Sofia University. The program of the course and the lectures held so far are filled with racist, misogynist, xenophobic and anti-Semitic content, which violates the principles on which university education is built."
