About 1,500 instructors and other personnel attached to Rumanian universities have been dismissed as a result of investigations of a special commission to eliminate fascists and anti-Semites from university faculties, it was revealed here today. The commission which began work about a year ago, completed its task recently.
Among the pro-fascists uncovered by the investigators were: Prof. Gheorghe Bratianu, one of the founders of the pro-Hitler Rumanian-German Assocciation; Constantin Bordeiani, leader of an anti-Semitic organization at the Bucharest School of Pharmacy; and Prof. Gregore Popa, an anatomy instructor at the Jascy University, who carried anti-Semitic segregation to such a point that he refused to assign a Jewish medical student to work on the corpse of a Christian used as a study model.
