The manner in which Professor Violeta Kecman was removed from her job is a form of bullying, especially considering her long-term work, the title of Doctor of Science and her reputation among her colleagues, pointed out her lawyer Goran Cvetković.
Professor Fifth Belgrade Gymnasium Violeta Kecman, who worked at that school for 25 years, was removed from work for three months, and according to her lawyer and parents student and Goran Cvetković school, when the decision was handed over, school security was also engaged.
Cvetković told FoNet that Kecman will challenge the decision to remove him, because he believes that there is no basis for such a measure.
He added that proceedings are also being considered for, as he claims, damage to the professor's honor and reputation, as well as the possibility of determining the criminal liability of the acting director and secretary of the school.
According to his statements, the way in which the professor was removed from her job is a form of bullying, especially considering her many years of work, the title of Doctor of Science and reputation among colleagues. Cvetković, however, emphasized that Kecman was not physically kicked out of the school, but that she left the building without the intervention of security. However, she believes that the circumstances in which the decision was handed to her speak for the attitude of the school management towards her.
According to him, the professor's problems have been going on since the tenure of former acting director Danka Nešović, when disciplinary proceedings were initiated against her. During May of this year, during the mandate of the current acting director Ognjen Mrvaljević, two more proceedings were initiated.
The first of the earlier proceedings has meanwhile expired, while in one of the two more recent proceedings, Kecman was found responsible and was suspended from work for three months. Cvetković pointed out that the professor was not fired, but that the decision will be appealed and contested.
After serving the decision, Kecman was given ten minutes to leave the school and get her things, while the principal called security. There is also a third proceeding against the professor, which Cvetković claims is also out of date and should therefore be discontinued.
He does not rule out the possibility that the suspension from work for three months is connected to that third procedure, that is, that the school management was left with room to prepare grounds for dismissal against the professor. At the same time, he emphasizes that, in his opinion, there is no basis for such an outcome.
The reason for the disciplinary proceedings is an omission related to one entry in the diary. Cvetković claims that during the procedure it was proven that the professor made the registration and that there are written evidences and statements about it.
He also claims that the disputed entry was deleted after Kecman was suspended in February. For this reason, as he stated, a criminal complaint was filed, as there is a suspicion that the registration was intentionally removed in order to create a disciplinary problem for the professor. Cvetković concludes that, according to his claims, it was proven in the proceedings that Kecman did not do what she is accused of.
