Morocco: a professor fired after racist remarks against Senegalese

In a message addressed directly to its students and partners, the institution has chosen to present its apologies "with full transparency and the utmost sincerity". Even though the controversial remarks were posted by the professor on her personal social networks and outside of her work, the university has chosen to assume its "moral responsibility" to respond to the emotion aroused.

After a quick examination of the facts, the management announced that "the person concerned no longer holds any position within the institution". The institution, which defines itself as pan-African, has recalled that respect and living together are "non-negotiable" principles that form the very heart of its educational project.

For the future, the university is committed to ensuring that its students find a calm and respectful environment. It explains that it wants to draw all the necessary lessons from this crisis to prevent such a situation from recurring in the future.

By calling on everyone to have a sense of responsibility and mutual respect, the institution now hopes to turn the page while reaffirming its commitment to the dignity of all.
