Letter signed by 247 Lund University faculty members and sent to the Office of the Vice-Chancellor of Lund University, Erik Renström, on 4 June 2024!!!

“We hold the University’s management responsible for allowing these events to unfold in such a manner that the students of Lund University were exposed to the kind of violence from the police that no student should experience within university grounds. Minimal flexibility could have allowed for the organisation of the conferment ceremony while avoiding the tragic and shameful events of May 30th. The “encampment or ceremony” was a false dichotomy, and there were many ways to reconcile the University’s tradition with the students’ legal right to protest, had the management been interested in upholding the latter.”
