ARW kan nu dokumentera \u00e4nnu ett fall vid Uppsala universitet d\u00e4r l\u00e4rares och forskares akademiska r\u00e4ttigheter inte respekteras. Det r\u00f6r sig om en professor vid Matematiska institutionen som av sin prefekt f\u00f6rbj\u00f6ds att \u00e5ka p\u00e5 forskningsresor \u2013 \u00e4ven om v\u00e4rduniversitetet betalar. En rad internationella protestbrev har kommit in d\u00e4r kollegor i Frankrike, Indien, Israel och Italien uttrycker best\u00f6rtning \u00f6ver vad de kallar \u201dan administrative measure unheard of in the democratic world\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n

ARW har p\u00e5 senare tid uppm\u00e4rksammat en rad fall d\u00e4r det gjorts ingrepp i l\u00e4rares och forskares akademiska frihet vid Uppsala universitet. Det har d\u00e5 r\u00f6rt sig om \u00f6vertr\u00e4delser av den f\u00f6r akademin s\u00e5 centrala yttrandefriheten. Det var vad som h\u00e4nde latinprofessorn Gerd Haverling, som hotades med upps\u00e4gning efter sin kritik av ledningen. Annars s\u00e5 \u00e5terh\u00e5llsamma Justitiekanslern ans\u00e5g att ledningens agerande delvis \u00e4ven stod i strid med grundlagen.<\/p>\n

Men i Uppsala finns det ingen gr\u00e4ns f\u00f6r vad man kan r\u00e5ka ut f\u00f6r som forskare. Eller vad s\u00e4gs om ett f\u00f6rbud mot att f\u00e5 \u00e5ka p\u00e5 forskningsresor utomlands \u00e4ven om v\u00e4rduniversitetet st\u00e5r f\u00f6r kostnaderna? \u00c4r detta verkligen Sverige?<\/p>\n

Resef\u00f6rbudet drabbade nyligen matematikprofessorn Cyril Tintarev, som var p\u00e5passlig nog att trycka p\u00e5 inspelningsknappen n\u00e4r prefekten l\u00e4xade upp honom den 13 januari i \u00e5r. ARW publicerar inspelningen h\u00e4r<\/a>. En transkription av prefektens tillk\u00e4nnagivanden f\u00f6ljer:<\/p>\n

Warwick Tucker: \u201dThere are several things I want to discuss. One is is your, your business trips, which you wondered about, why I\u2019ve denied you them, the second is your, your time spent at the workplace, and then coming meetings. So. They are all connected. As you know, I am not happy with the situation [pause] between you and the department, and I want to see to find the way to solve this. My hope is that we will find some way for you to come back into the activities in the department so you can act as a researcher and a collaborator in all ways. This is my aim. But I see that we are far away from that, so until I see big improvement, I will not grant you any travels. I also want to see you at your workplace, during regular hours, that means 8AM to 16.30 daily, unless you are teaching until 17 – then you can come in at 8:30. This is starting today, five days a week. This is according to union rules. You and I will have many meetings, starting this semester, to follow-up on the progress of you coming back into work and functioning here. I would also like us to involve Feelgood [the name of the firm of workplace health services provided under contract with Uppsala University], for this we have a rehabilitation process. I am not saying this is necessary, but I feel that the problems are so severe so you need, er, professional help to solve these problems. So that was a lot of information. Did you get the all of that?\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I ett e-brev till Tucker<\/a> p\u00e5pekar Per Sundman, Saco:s representant i Uppsala, att resef\u00f6rbudet \u00e4r oacceptabelt:<\/p>\n

Av dessa sk\u00e4l h\u00e4vdar Saco-S vid Uppsala Universitet ocks\u00e5 att arbetsgivaren inte kan utf\u00e4rda ett generellt f\u00f6rbud mot arbetsresor f\u00f6r en anst\u00e4lld. Om en beg\u00e4ran att genomf\u00f6ra en arbetsresa avsl\u00e5s m\u00e5ste detta kunna motiveras utifr\u00e5n den enskilda resan.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

F\u00f6rbudet strider inte minst mot artikel 13 i Unescos internationella regler f\u00f6r personal inom den h\u00f6gre utbildningen (1997)<\/a>, d\u00e4r det f\u00f6rklaras att \u201dhigher-education teaching personnel should be enabled throughout their careers to participate in international gatherings on higher education or research\u201d.<\/p>\n

De internationella protesterna mot det svenska resef\u00f6rbudet f\u00f6r akademiker<\/a> har inte l\u00e5tit v\u00e4nta p\u00e5 sig. Tre franska forskare uttrycker sin besvikelse och f\u00f6rv\u00e5ning \u00f6ver en utebliven g\u00e4stprofessor s\u00e5 h\u00e4r:<\/p>\n

Professor Tintarev was awarded a visiting professorship for one month this academic year at our university out of several qualified candidates. If he is unable to come, it is too late to replace him. Furthermore our collaboration with him will be compromised, we will miss his stimulating conversation, and we do not know when (or if) we will be able to invite him again \u2026 For these reasons, we hope that it is possible to allow him to visit Toulouse for one month this academic year.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u00c5tta akademiker fr\u00e5n Israel skr\u00e4der inte orden:<\/p>\n

The imposition of a travel ban on a scholar is an administrative measure unheard of in the democratic world. If indeed, there is any reasonable explanation for such a step, it should be clarified and made public to the mathematical community. We respectfully request that Uppsala University lift the ban on travel imposed on Professor Tintarev.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u00c4ven indiska och italienska akademiker har klagat p\u00e5 behandlingen av Tintarev i e-brev till Uppsalas ledningsgrupp.<\/p>\n

Tuckers p\u00e5st\u00e5ende ovan att det skulle vara ett fackligt krav att man \u00e4r p\u00e5 jobbet mellan 8.00 och 16.30 \u00e4r givetvis ocks\u00e5 felaktigt d\u00e5 akademiker har r\u00e4tt att f\u00f6rfoga \u00f6ver sin egen \u00e5rsarbetstid. Saco:s Per Sundman f\u00f6rklarar:<\/p>\n

Enligt lokalt kollektivavtal om arbetstid och arbetstidsberoende ers\u00e4ttningar f\u00f6r l\u00e4rare (UFV-PA 2013\/2693) har l\u00e4rare en \u00e5rsarbetstid att f\u00f6rh\u00e5lla sig till. D\u00e4remot finns inget angivet om vid vilka veckodagar eller klockslag \u00e5rsarbetstiden ska f\u00f6rl\u00e4ggas. Avtalet anger ocks\u00e5 ang\u00e5ende n\u00e4rvaro p\u00e5 arbetsplatsen att en l\u00e4rares arbetsuppgifter, om verksamheten och uppgifterna till\u00e5ter, kan f\u00f6rl\u00e4ggas till annan plats efter anm\u00e4lan till prefekt. En beg\u00e4ran av en enskild anst\u00e4lld l\u00e4rare att generellt befinna sig p\u00e5 arbetsplatsen under vissa tider, utan att detta motiveras med arbetsuppgifter som bara kan utf\u00f6ras\u00a0s\u00e5vitt vi vet\u00a0vid denna plats och p\u00e5 denna tid, skulle allts\u00e5 kunna utg\u00f6ra ett brott mot det lokala kollektivavtalet.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Aff\u00e4ren har utspelat sig internt under en stor del av 2017 utan att komma till allm\u00e4nhetens k\u00e4nnedom. ARW fick tidigt uppgifter om vad som h\u00e4nt men valde, av h\u00e4nsyn till professorns situation, att inte ingripa i den k\u00e4nsliga processen.<\/p>\n

Men fackets st\u00f6d verkar inte haft n\u00e5gon p\u00e5taglig effekt. Tintarev har l\u00e5tit meddela ARW att han till slut inte klarade trycket utan valde att f\u00f6rtidspensioneras fr\u00e5n den 1 september 2017, vid 61 \u00e5rs \u00e5lder. I geng\u00e4ld ska prefekten ha l\u00e5tit honom genomf\u00f6ra tv\u00e5 av de tidigare f\u00f6rbjudna forskningsresorna, medan hans forskningsvistelser i Princeton och TIFR i Bangalore inte blivit av.<\/p>\n

Professor Tintarev har inte f\u00e5tt beh\u00e5lla sin affiliering med Matematiska institutionen i Uppsala, och hans namn \u00e4r bortraderat fr\u00e5n universitetets adresskatalog, som om han aldrig verkat vid l\u00e4ros\u00e4tet. Om vi inte hade dokumenterat och offentliggjort hans historia i detta inl\u00e4gg hade den i viss mening \u201daldrig h\u00e4nt\u201d. Rektors kansli har dock registrerat samtliga inkomna protestbrev som ett \u00e4rende med beteckning UFV 2017\/129.<\/p>\n

Tintarev skriver att han \u201dbed\u00f6mer sin f\u00f6rtidspensionering som det enda m\u00f6jliga s\u00e4ttet att bevara sin akademiska frihet\u201d. Slutsatsen \u00e4r tragisk men av allt att d\u00f6ma f\u00f6ljdriktig. Han forts\u00e4tter att delta i internationella matematiska konferenser och att vistas som g\u00e4stprofessor vid utomnordiska l\u00e4ros\u00e4ten. Enligt v\u00e5ra uppgifter har rektorn Eva \u00c5kesson och hennes ledningsgrupp aldrig reagerat p\u00e5 resef\u00f6rbudet, trots att de f\u00e5tt internationella protestbrev direkt i mejlboxen och inte kan skylla p\u00e5 okunskap. Vad h\u00e4nde med utredningsplikten vid misst\u00e4nkt kr\u00e4nkande s\u00e4rbehandling?<\/p>\n

13. The interplay of ideas and information among higher-education teaching personnel throughout\u00a0 the\u00a0 world\u00a0 is\u00a0 vital\u00a0 to\u00a0 the\u00a0 healthy\u00a0 development\u00a0 of\u00a0 higher education and research and should be actively promoted.
