What are the Tips: The state found a new way to squeeze students of private colleges

The President of the Council at the Faculty of Computing threatened the students in the blockade permanent expulsion from the faculty, and this institution is suitable, according to "Vremena" sources, for the authorities at private faculties to deal with students who refuse to return to classes.

This is just one of the ways for private faculties to return the favor to the progressives, but also to the President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić himself, who stated just a few days ago that he "wants to strengthen the private sector in Serbia", and that more students of private faculties are entitled to budget funding.

How Tips work

At the state faculties, the Dean of Chemistry Goran Roglić explains to "Vreme", the Councils do not have the authority to conduct disciplinary proceedings against students, except in the appeal phase.

"The powers of the Council depend on the faculty's statute, but it is the practice at state faculties that the Council acts on the complaint of students or employees at the faculty when the Teaching and Research Council cannot make a decision. They are practically a step higher," says Roglić.

Private faculties have the possibility to change this provision, so some have introduced it. The Faculty of Computing is part of the Union University in Belgrade, and its Statute is set by the faculty itself.

Paying back to those who don't blackmail

Vučić also explained why he wants more students from private faculties to be educated at the expense of the state.

"Private faculties have proven to be much more stable, much more serious than faculties and universities that want to provide knowledge and education to people. Private property has proven to be property that manages capacities much better than state property. In state property, as well as in social property, everyone thinks they have the right to use all rights, but they have no obligations, they treat the state as the last hole in the pipe," said Vučić.

"With this, we will break the monopoly of state colleges, they will never be able to blackmail anyone again. If they want to survive, they will have to fight in the market in an incomparably more serious way, and our children will be able to study," he added.

The students of Union University - Nikola Tesla responded that they are against the discord with state colleges that the president wants to impose and that all students have the same requirements, whether they study at a private or state college.
