EUSPB temporarily turned into a research institute

On October 3, at a meeting of employees and former students of the European University in St. Petersburg (EUSPB), his rector Nikolai Vakhtin announced that the EUSPB will exist in the form of a research institute with an enlightening expert agenda for the duration of an educational license.

This was reported by TASS with reference to the head of the apparatus of the rector of Alla Samoletov.

“We will try to get a license to infinity, but we don’t know how much time it will take,” she said.

“Now we are talking about that there is no license that we will try to receive, we will deal with scientific and educational activities. We no longer have students - from June 25, 10 people were transferred to other universities or expelled at their own free will. There will be no state optimizations - we will have the same number of employees, ” RBC Samoletova said.

The leadership of the EUSPB decided to issue a new educational license after the court approvedthe cancellation of the former in July. In early August, EUSPB finally lost his rights to the main building - a small marble palace in the center of St. Petersburg.

EUSPB submitted documents twice to receive a new license. At the end of September, the audit of the building, which should move to Rosobrnadzor, revealed a number of violations, without which the university will not be able to get a new educational license. As a result, the university was refused to issue a license.
