Subject: academic freedom in Macau
***********************************************************

The following news has just come to my attention today: our colleague Eric
Sautede is being terminated from his position at Macau's St. Joseph
University for what appears to be political reasons. List members may be
interested in the local news report:

There is also a call-to-action on Facebook:

I have emailed the university's rector this morning with my concerns about
academic freedom in Macau. I'd be happy to share that mail if anyone
wishes to read it.

All the best
