Cuban students protest professor’s contract non-renewal linked to his social media criticism of systemic issues.
Students at Cuba’s University of Technology (CUJAE) protested the non-renewal of Professor Abel Ernesto Tablada de la Torre’s contract, alleging it stemmed from his critical social media posts about systemic issues like power outages, low faculty salaries, and educational shortages.
The Architecture Faculty’s student council condemned the decision as undermining academic freedom, while online support grew under the hashtag #ArquitecturaConTablada.
Tablada, a tenured professor and brother of a high-ranking Cuban diplomat, has not publicly commented, and the university has not issued an official response.
The case highlights ongoing concerns about free expression in Cuba’s state-controlled academia.
