Vashchuk: I do not want to be the rector of a bankrupt

Today, January 30, at the meeting with students, the rector of UzhNU talked about the financial difficulties of the university. In particular, he explained that the current long "vacation" was necessary, because the university has three million debt for gas supply. In addition, Vashchuk reminded that the decision on the extended break had been taken before he came to the university. However, the rector believes that it is justified.

He says that this decision allowed the students to have their internships in this period – he signed about a thousand assignments for internship. Thus students will be able to relax in the warm season.

"I do not want to manage a bankrupt university" – Vashchuk said. – And UzhNU now is bankrupt. Not in terms of personnel and scientific potential, but financially."

However, the rector said that this year will be only when students do not study in the winter.
