Supreme Council of the Cultural Revolution: We must confront educators who try to harm the scientific progress of the country through "non-academic behaviors"

Following the rising reactions to the termination of collaboration with a group of university professors, the Supreme Council of the Cultural Revolution issued a statement, part of which reads:

"A very small number of educators, driven by various motives, exhibit non-academic behaviors within the realm of science, disrupting education and research, and making futile attempts to harm the scientific progress of the country. These actions contradict the goals of training and development at universities and must be countered based on national interests.

The honorable higher education system in the country will not be influenced by these insinuations, and universities have legally addressed the actions of some educators with non-academic behaviors. If any of the educators whose collaboration with the university has been terminated object to this matter, the secretariat of the Supreme Council of the Cultural Revolution is open and willing to hear their grievances so that, God willing, no one's rights are violated."
