Gender Studies is acknowledged world wide as a legitimate field of enquiry. This Government ban is thoroughly ideological, undertaken by a regime which feels threatened and cannot tolerate critique.(Glasgow, 2018-08-16)

The study of gender studies is essential for our histories, cultures and selves. It is also important for science, if medicine does not have an understanding of how men, women, transexuals, queer people experience their bodies it may be detrimental to their findings and cures.(London, 2018-08-16)

I'm signing because this ban shows the Central European University's ineptitude to evaluate the start of this programme appropriately, and the decision will be perceived as a step backwards with regards to other competing universities. Gender studies is a globally recognised and growing field, and lagging behind in this area shows a regressive and dangerous attitude in this day and age. The ban is already having adverse effects on the reputation of the university, and only a reversal of the ban is the right decision.(Leeds, 2018-08-16)

Utóljára Rákosiék diktatúrája tiltotta be a szociológiát, mint "burzsoá áltudományt". A társadalmi változások, bennük a nemi szerepek változásának ismerete nélkül nincs megalapozott társadalompolitika és európai haladás.(Budapest, 2018-08-16)
