Exceptional election at the stadium
Participants entered the stadium with four entrances. They sat on the stands always separated from one another by a few empty places. The candidates presented themselves and their programme from the terrace of the businessman's club. The electors could watch them on large screens.
First plans of the new rector
When asked about the first plans and first decisions, the newly elected rector replied that first of all the university administration should become more smooth, transparent and friendly. – At the same time, we are facing the challenges resulting from the current state of epidemic. If in the autumn there would be another “lockdown”, then we must be well prepared for it, both from the organisational and didactical point of view – added the newly elected rector.
