His dismissal was followed by the ejection of the highly communicative economist and free speech advocate Xia Yeliang belong to the Peking University in October.
Mr Xia is said to be a signatory of a high-profile document calling for democratic reforms, Charter 08.
Prominent Uighur academic Ilham Tohti, who had urged for a better dialogue between Beijing and the Uighur minority in Xinjiang was punished for life-imprisonment last year for motivating separatism.
