Who Is PEMA?

Welcome to PEMA, the Preservation of Ethics & Morality in Academia.

Established in April 2019 in the United Kingdom, PEMA has rapidly grown into a dynamic, independent coalition of distinguished professors and dedicated academics. Our group is united by a strong resolve to counter and combat any acts of unethical conduct, harm, or violence within university environments.

We firmly believe in the sanctity and tranquility of academic spaces. To us, universities are not just hubs of knowledge and innovation, but also sanctuaries of intellectual growth and personal development. As such, they must be kept free from any element that threatens their essence or disrupts their tranquility.

In pursuit of this mission, our activities extend beyond passive advocacy. We actively intervene, providing a vigilant watch over academic institutions around the globe and stepping in when necessary. Our strategies include robust advocacy, initiating and supporting legal actions, and constantly striving to strengthen and enforce ethical standards and moral conduct in universities.

Our ultimate goal is to ensure a serene, secure and nurturing academic atmosphere in universities worldwide, where intellects can thrive, ideas can blossom, and the leaders of tomorrow can grow, unhindered by any form of unethical or disruptive behaviour.

Join us on this journey, as we strive to preserve and enhance the integrity of our academic spaces.

Our Mission

At PEMA, our mission is clear: we serve as catalysts for transformation. Whenever we find universities either endorsing or facilitating actions that compromise the welfare or safety of students, we do not merely observe, we intervene. Our conviction is rooted in the belief that academic institutions must present a united front against all forms of injustice and potential threats to their students’ security.

Our vision is an academic landscape built on the bedrock of unity and cooperation. We are relentless in our efforts to establish collaborations with universities around the globe, weaving a powerful tapestry of academic institutions bound together by shared ethical principles and moral standards. This solidarity is not just a defensive shield against adversities; it is an active, dynamic force committed to fostering mutual betterment.

We view each university as an integral component of a grander academic ecosystem, each contributing to the creation of a secure, ethically-sound, and morally-responsible learning environment. Through collaboration and mutual learning, we can construct an arena where wisdom thrives, unhindered and untouched by harm.

At PEMA, we do more than merely take a stand. We are proponents of change, staunch advocates for a global academic community that protects its students and adheres unswervingly to a code of ethical conduct and moral accountability. Our mission goes beyond preserving the sanctity of academia; we strive to enhance it, to usher in a future where every scholar can pursue their learning journey, confident in the knowledge that their safety and welfare are of utmost priority.

Together, we embody strength. Together, we can effect change. Join us in our mission to fashion a safer, more ethical, and morally accountable world of academia.

Our Vision

As PEMA, our vision is of an academic world where the ethical bedrock is as important as the intellectual foundation. We envision universities worldwide uniting under a shared commitment to ethical and moral principles, creating an environment where students can pursue knowledge, free from harm and guided by a compass of moral responsibility.

Our vision extends beyond academic institutions as isolated entities, we foresee a global academic network, bound by a mutual pledge to safeguard student welfare and uphold the highest standards of ethical conduct. Within this network, every institution – regardless of size or prestige – plays an integral role, contributing to the collective mission of fostering a safe, ethical, and morally responsible learning environment.

In our vision, universities are not just places of learning, but also bastions of ethical and moral values, setting examples of moral leadership for their students and for society at large. Students, faculty, and administration alike are empowered with a strong ethical and moral compass, guiding them in their actions, decisions, and relationships.

Our vision is of a future where the principles of ethics and morality are intrinsic to the fabric of academia, seamlessly integrated into every aspect of university life, from teaching and research to administration. We envisage a world where every student can confidently embark on their academic journey, secure in the knowledge that their institution values their safety and well-being, and is committed to upholding the principles of ethical conduct and moral responsibility.

At PEMA, we are working tirelessly to make this vision a reality, building bridges of cooperation and fostering a global culture of ethical and moral accountability in academia. Join us as we strive to shape the future of higher education.
