ZAGREB, July 17, 2020 – President Zoran Milanovic on Friday received a delegation of the Independent Union in Science and Higher Education who had requested the meeting in order to inform the president of the latest developments at the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences in Zagreb, the President’s Office said in a press release.
The Independent Union in Science and Higher Education considers, the delegation said, that it was inappropriate to suspend the faculty’s dean.
According to the delegation, the situation at the faculty is the result of the abuse of the university’s autonomy. The union has become involved because it wishes to defend the system and management procedures at the university, the delegation said. For the system to function overall, it is necessary to regulate the university’s management structures by amending legislation, the press release said.
