While USU professors and other employees survive on low salaries, re

One of the promises of the “revolutionary” government in 2018 was that the new government will henceforth exclude the sick acquaintance-friend-care approach in professional promotion, giving preference to professional personnel. But after a short time it turned out that this was also one of the propaganda tricks to deceive the people.

from Shirak State University (SSU) 168.amConcerned news has arrived that Rector Yervand Serobyan, being a favorite of the government, is promoting his relatives and friends at the university.

Let’s talk facts…

Thus, the storekeeper of the university, Surik Hovsepyan, is the rector’s deputy. Artashes Hovhannisyan, head of the “Human Resources Management, Document Circulation and Legal Assurance Department” of the university, is a friend of the rector. Artashes Hovhannisyan’s son, Arman Hovhannisyan, being a student of the current department, also works at the university. The rector’s other daughter, Shushan Martirosyan, made a sharp career jump after working as a rector’s clerk and other “minor” positions. He was recently appointed the deputy director of the “Educational Process Management Center” of the university, having no academic degree, teaching experience (his autobiography on the official website of the SSU, unlike the autobiographies of other employees of the center, is closed. – G.S.), but very quickly he was formulated as a claimant. is considered a possible candidate for rector or vice-rector in the near future.

What is interesting is that the salaries of 2 employees of the university were increased at the May 8 meeting of the Board of Trustees of USU. In addition, one employee is Shushan Martirosyan, the rector’s daughter-in-law, whose salary increased from 200,000 AMD for 1 rate to 250,000 AMD on the grounds that the deputy director is overloaded with work duties. it seems that the people working before Shushan Martirosyan were idle.

This discriminatory attitude has caused a lot of dissatisfaction in the State University, because during the years of Nikol Pashinyan’s rule, the salaries of professors and teaching assistants, and low-level administrative employees have not increased, although in fact their workload has greatly increased, and this is in the case when student fees have increased dramatically.

According to our information, at the end of the last academic year, the rector rewarded the main employees with 50 percent of the salary (taking into account the rector’s salary, which is high at the level of the Republic: AMD 700,000, he was the first to use it), and the so-called 13th salary was received in the university long ago, before Nikol Pashinyan came to power.

It should also be noted that before Nikol Pashinyan, university employees received bonuses on various holidays for many years.

As for the position of Levon Barseghyan, the chairman of the Board of Trustees of the University of Georgia, the employees of the university said that Levon Barseghyan has a very weak understanding of the management and problems of the university, he is busy with domestic and foreign political issues, and in this respect the positions of the rector are stronger.

It is surprising that for the chairman and members of the Board of Trustees, Shushan Martirosyan met the passport requirements for the position of deputy director of the “Educational Methodological Process Management Center” (if, of course, there is a passport for such a position. – G.S.).

In 2024, the expert report of the institutional accreditation of SSU also stated that the salary of the teaching staff is low, lower than in other marzes.
