Turkey Extends Purge to Universities, Asking All Deans to Go - Bloomberg

Restructuring the education system from a secular curriculum to something more in line with Ergodan's political whim.

"Turkey’s highest education authority asked heads of university faculties across the country to resign, broadening the government purge that’s followed Friday night’s failed coup. The currency plummeted.

Turkey’s Council of Higher Education is seeking the resignation of 1,577 deans at state and private universities nationwide, state-run TRT reported. The channel did not give a reason for the decision, and calls to the educational body, known in Turkish as YOK, were not immediately returned.

The country also canceled the licenses of 21,000 private-school teachers, according to Yeni Safak. That brings the total of those suspended, fired, removed from jobs or stripped of professional accreditation to 59,628 in the wake of the bloody events of Friday night, according to Bloomberg calculations."

I imagine Israel will become more nervous now; the Turks have US weapon systems and are well trained.

Perhaps, not.  Erdogan is making nice with the Israelis after treating them badly. Guess he's taking a lesson from the old Ottoman empire that used Jewish advisors.  Turkey is vying with Iran for leadership of the Middle East with the Arabs in the middle  Turks and Persians are usually willing to die to the last Arab to achieve their goals.
