Now, after reading this text someone might think and claim that “Kerem Altıparmak writes annoying texts, let’s remove him from office;” the Council of Higher Education can immediately decide to do so regardless of any defense, any investigation. But the way through which a professor shall be removed from public office and all the rights that s/he has are stated in ordinary laws. If the regulations under state of emergency change the ordinary law irrevocably it is no more a regulation under state of emergency; it rather turns out to be a regulation of lawlessness. And if you consider that tens of thousands will be subjected to this regulation you would get a clearer picture of the gravity of the situation. There is no wrong in trying to dislocate those in state offices who are responsible for the past violation of rights under the transitory periods of state of emergency, by pursuing ways that fall out of ordinary forms. This has a technical name, indeed: “lustration.” (Yet we think that Turkey is the first example throughout the world that this process is pursued without a change in the government. And this renders it ever more interesting.) However this does not mean that lustration can be pursued regardless of any rules/norms. This method shall be practiced rapidly and justly, seeing to it that the guilty and the non-guilty be distinguished.
Şimdi birisi bu yazıyı okuduktan sonra kalksa dese ki, Kerem Altıparmak başımızı ağrıtan şeyler yazıyor, şunu meslekten çıkaralım. Savunma, soruşturma, hak getire, YÖK Kurulu dakikasında karar verebilir. Oysa bir öğretim üyesinin kamu görevinden nasıl çıkarabileceği, tüm haklarla birlikte olağan yasalarda gösterilmiştir. Olağanüstü Hal düzenlemesi, olağan hukuku geri dönülemez bir şekilde değiştirirse olağanüstü hal düzenlemesi olmaz, tamamen bir hukuksuzluk düzenlemesi haline gelir. Bunun bir de onbinlerce kişiye yapılacağını düşünecek olursanız, durumun vahameti daha açık görülür.
