The convicted rector of the Technical University resigned, inherited him a deputy and promised to follow it
The only candidacy voted for 437 of the 505 delegates. They gave voice against 52. The invalid ballots were 16. With the disclosure of the results, the chairman of the election committee Assoc. Prof. Radoslav Milchev commented that the vote was « our answer to anyone who allows himself to comment on our university negatively » because « we have not had such a result for many years » and congratulated the resignation for the « worthy approach ».
The speech of the chairman of the General Assembly, Prof. Georgi Todorov, also criticized criticism of the media, and mainly his word was focused on the reason that the reason for the court decision – the monetary awards for the rector – the rector himself – are an administrative violation and the incident « cannot be considered. »
It is an annual additional material incentive for teachers, which is determined by predefined criteria. The lists of the right of amounts over the salary also include the name of the Rector, who has written the relevant orders for their granting, and it is here that the Commission for Combating Corruption and the Court establish a conflict of interest.
« The orders were also signed by me to certify that the rector was headed by the chairman of the General Assembly, » Prof. Todorov said before the General Assembly.
At the address of media publications on the judgment and the consequences of it, the first of which was on Dnevnik, he said: « All allegations of the media that we have a convicted rector are incorrect. The Supreme Administrative Court sentenced him to conflict of interest, not corruption. » (S)The Diary has never claimed that the sentence is for corruption – white.))
« We will uphold justice, » he added. « We have no reason to be ashamed of or bending our heads to journalists and publications. We have every reason to believe that everything that the society expects from us, we make it. Yes, we make mistakes. (…) We are no temple. »
Will the convicted rector Deputy Rector
In his speech, the chairman of the General Assembly suggested another thing – on the grounds of the Act to counter corruption after the judgment, Prof. Ivan Kralov has no right to hold a public office (including a rector) for a year, but any other post at the university is admissible, including the newly released deputy rectures.
« One year (the rector) has no right to hold a public office. At the Technical University, she is only the Rector, » said Prof. Todorov. |
The new deputy rector for the academic staff and coordination in place of Prof. Georgi Venkov is yet to be elected. A meeting of the Academic Council is scheduled for this purpose. When asked by Dnevnik, can the new deputy reactor be Prof. Ivan Kralov the chairman of the General Assembly replied: « If he wishes, it is legal. »
« Together to continue »
After announcing that he was resigning, Prof. Ivan Kralov thanked his colleagues « for the great effort » and called on « Together to continue to create a knowledgeable and capable intelligentsia. » No question was addressed by the audience.
