(Everyone is welcome to sign this letter. It is permanently open and the list of signatories will be updated frequently) To Tsinghua University and President Qiu Yong, Upon learning that Professor Xu Zhangrun, an academic working in the School of Law at Tsinghua University, had been stripped by your estimable institution of all duties, banned from accepting any new students as well as forbidden from pursuing his teaching and research activities, we the undersigned were Shocked, Dumbfounded and Outraged. By their very nature universities are sanctuaries devoted to the pursuit of scholarship and intellectual freedom. They offer an assured homeland that nurtures and protects scholars and thinkers. Mei Yi-chi � the eternal president of Tsinghua University [he led the institution from 1931 to 1948], observed: A real university is found not in grand buildings but in great scholars. ?????, ???????, ??????? With a history that spans over one hundred years, Tsinghua University has been buffeted by the turbulence of the times. Despite all of those vicissitudes it has given us such Great Scholars as Wang Guowei, Liang Qichao, Chen Yinque and Zhu Ziqing. It is precisely when it has been able to adhere to the dictum [articulated in a commemorative epitaph written in 1930 by Chen Yinque for Wang Guowei] chanpioning the need for �A Spirit Unfettered and a Mind Independent� and vouchsafe scholastic independence and intellectual freedom that it has been able to attain the pinnacle of Chinese scholarship and learning. In pursuing his research on China�s political, economic and social realities and in publishing his findings, Professor Xu Zhangrun has embodied the expectations held for any university professor. His work is also a powerful reflection of a profound concern for the People of China and his abiding anxiety over the Fate of the Nation. The free and independent expression of scholastic opinions is the very thing that allows Tsinghua University to enjoy a reputation for scholastic preeminence. In stripping Professor Xu of his right to work at the very institution thst employs him not only betrays Tsinghua�s worthy tradition of academic independence, it also directly contravenes both the Constitution of the People�s Republic of China and the Teachers� Law [adopted in 1993]. Your act is a blatant betrayal of Academic Independence, the spirit of which enlivens Tsinghua University�s scholastic traditions. Moreover, it is at odds with the university�s own motto of �Self-Discipline and Social Commitment� ????, ????. Your action has led a broad constituency of Tsinghua graduates, as well as the men and women of China�s intellectual and academic worlds to resile in a mood of grievous concern and dejection. With this act you have give us all just cause to be fearful for the academic and humanistic environment of China today. We would like to know exactly what �Serious Breaches� were committed by Professor Xu Zhangrun to give you, Tsinghua University, an excuse to suspend his teaching and academic duties while also giving you license to subject him to a formal disciplinary investigation? Your behaviour is arbitrary, underhanded and reckless. It also permits you cover to pursue disciplinary action against a member of faculty even before a formal conclusion has been reached in regard to him. By so doing you have perpetrated an odious injustice against a teacher who has devoted his life to learning, a scholar whose research is justly celebrated and a man who has demonstrated at every turn a profound involvement with and concern for this Nation and its Peoples. We decry the decision made by Tsinghua University in the strongest possible terms! We furthermore demand that you immediately: Allow Professor Xu to resume his pedagogical activities; Cease and desist from any and all punitive actions against him; and Offer a public account of what this is really all about. We can only hope that you, Tsinghua University, can somehow remind yourselves of the outstanding traditions of your own institution and can thereby ensure that you are up to the task of protecting the research endeavours, as well as the academic and intellectual independence and freedom not only of Professor Xu Zhangrun but of all members of faculty and all students at Tsinghua.
