About 1.5 months ago 168.am– referred to it strongly grievances, which refer to Yervand Serobyan, rector of Shirak State University (SSU). Since mid-May 2018, Yervand Serobyan, who has been the head of the University of Moscow, has filled the university with his friends, to whom he pays high salaries, and the salary of one of them, Shushan Martirosyan, has been individually increased by the decision of the Board of Trustees of the University, and this is in the case when Shushan Martirosyan, according to our sources at the University, does not have a scientific degree and the experience and relevant knowledge of his aunt. With the light hand of her husband, Yervand Serobyan, she became the deputy director of the “Educational Process Management Center” of the university.
According to our information, for years Shushan Martirosyan has additionally burdened rector Yervand Serobyan with other work duties, for which he received additional payments.
In addition, for years, the university’s teaching and teaching staff have been complaining that the “selected” employees of the university regularly received individual bonuses, and this fact was kept secret by the rector as much as possible.
It is unfortunate for the teaching and teaching staff of the university that, in the presence of many facts, the government and the Ministry of Education and Culture do not conduct any research in the university, allowing Yervand Serobyan to act in the field of personal interests.
Thus, the university has a “Jurisprudence” educational program, which every year produces many masters graduates who graduate with honors, but it turns out that the head of the “Human Resources Management, Document Circulation and Legal Assurance Department” of the university, Artashes Hovhannisyan, who is a friend of the rector, is irreplaceable. The latter’s 65th birthday and the term of the employment contract have expired, but the rector keeps Artashes Hovhannisyan in the position of performing the duties of the head of the department. Moreover, this is not the only case.
News has reached us, which actually becomes even more interesting when we consider Nikol Pashinyan’s attitude towards the looting of the “formers”.
It turns out that within 8 years, Rector Serobyan managed to build two luxurious private houses from the ground up near Charles Aznavour Square in Gyumri. According to the news spread in Gyumri, rector Serobyan has also bought an apartment in Yerevan, the territory of his son’s dental clinic has greatly expanded.
Of course, Yervand Serobyan, who has worked as a tutor for decades, can say that he, his sons and daughters-in-law are doctors and have sufficient financial resources.thatproperties and could build two luxurious mansions. However, the whole problem is that Yervand Serobyan, his sons and daughters-in-law were working until May 2018 and did not even dream of such capital, but only during the years of Nikol Pashinyan’s rule, “luck” smiled on Yervand Serobyan.
Naturally, the teaching and teaching staff of the university are also aware of this news and are very dissatisfied with the permissiveness of the university, with Nikol Pashinyan and the minister of KGSMS, who do not control the activities of their rector.
By the way, although during the years of Nikol Pashinyan’s rule, student fees increased a lot, the salary of professors and teaching assistants is very low at the level of the entire Republic. Last year and in June of this year, the main employees of the university received a bonus amounting to 50 percent of their salary, but the same rector, his deputies, friends and employees with several administrative positions took advantage of it, because their salaries are very high.
It’s no secret that the social situation in Shirak Marz and Gyumri is very difficult, living is very difficult, but the rector, who celebrates his 70th birthday in September, has prospered materially, which, of course, he can afford when the “green light” is given to him by his superiors.
