EXPLANATION FROM THE SCIENCE AND ART FOUNDATION

The statement made by BISAV on the subject yesterday was used as follows:

“Public Statement on the Appointment of a Trustee to the Science and Art Foundation

On 21.01.2020, a three-person delegation sent by the General Directorate of Foundations took over the management of the Foundation for Science and Arts.

Previously, with the decision of the General Assembly of YÖK on 19.12.2019, the management of İstanbul Şehir University was transferred to Marmara University, the university that is the protector.

As a continuation of this unfair practice, it is in no way suitable for justice and justice to see such treatment in our foundation, which has been serving the educational and cultural life of our country for forty years.

This arbitrary attitude is a grave step in our hundreds of years of foundation tradition that can lead to great destruction; It is a dangerous initiative that concerns not only the Science and Art Foundation, but all the foundations in our country.

It is the volunteers and foundation-people of all ages and generations that make up and sustain the foundation institution and spirit. Science and Art Foundation will continue to live in every situation and condition! ..

Respectfully announced to the public. ”
