Arbitrariness ceased!

There were certain events blocking the normal work of Odessa National Medical University for almost half a year.

Persons calling themselves the university authorities with the assistance of the Ministry of Health officials were actually acting arbitrarily, impudently ignoring the decisions of the Ukrainian courts that prohibited their illegal actions.

Today, the state enforcement service has enforced the court decision and ceased the arbitrariness.

The staff members and the university authorities are going to make sure that the university will restore its normal functioning.

Law-enforcement authorities have been reported about the events taking place at the university. They have already registered certain criminal proceedings and an investigation is being carried out.

On December 10, 2018, the state enforcement service accompanied by police officers provided access to the workplace for Yu. V. Sukhin, who had been elected the a.i. Rector by the Academic Council of Odessa National Medical University. All the actions took place within the decision of the District Administrative Court of Kyiv, which had recognized some illegal actions of the Ministry of Health as to the appointment of their former employee Vladlena Dubinina for the position of the a.i.Rector of the University.

We would also like to remind you that on September 27, the District Administrative Court of Kyiv sustained the claim of ONMedU employees and terminated the order of the Ministry of Health from Sept. 7, which had assigned Vladlena Dubinina the a.i Rector of the educational institution with all financial rights.

The a.i. rector of Odessa Medical University is Yurii Sukhin.

This is evidenced by an extract from the State Register.

Yu. V. Sukhin got to his workplace in the morning accompanied by state executives who, in pursuance of the District Administrative Court of Kiev decision, removed the seals from the building of the rector’s office and opened the room.

Yurii Sukhin has already held a meeting of the university administration and said that the educational institution is working in the regular mode.
