Intolerance in universities is not acceptable, the head of he deans' group CRUI said a day after laRepubblica editor Maurizio Molinari was prevented form speaking at Naples University due to his alleged pro-Israeli bias.
"On Thursday we will meet with University Minister Anna Maria Bernini and with all the representatives of the 85 universities of the CRUI: we will launch ideas, actions, to make it even clearer that demonstrations that prevent people from speaking are not tolerated, universities are places of dialogue, when you ask to speak you must also know how to listen. To the director of Repubblica Maurizio Molinari goes the solidarity of the entire academic community", said CRUI President Giovanna Iannantuoni to ANSA.
Pro-Palestinian protests at the Federico II University in Naples, Friday led the university to cancel the scheduled debate featuring Molinari, who is Jewish but denies a pro-Israel stance.
