Charges against the rector of Collegium Humanum

Charges against the rector of a Warsaw university

"The Silesian division of the National Prosecutor's Office has brought charges against six people, including Paweł Cz., the rector of the Warsaw private university Collegium Humanum, the prosecutor's office said on Friday."

"The issue of irregularities in the functioning of the Collegium Humanum, including trade in diplomas, was widely described by "Newsweek". The weekly's investigation showed that the university not only issued MBA diplomas on a massive scale, which entitle individuals to sit on management boards and supervisory boards of state-owned companies , but also quickly and cheaply educated an army of future psychologists. After the arrest of Paweł Cz. his duties were taken over by the vice-rector for teaching and quality of education."

CHARGES AGAINST PAWEŁ CZ. AND COLLEAGUES

"Six people were charged with participating in an organized criminal group aimed at committing crimes involving issuing false documents confirming the completion of postgraduate studies and accepting material and personal benefits in connection with this."

"As for the head of an organized crime group, Paweł Cz. in connection with his public function as rector of a non-public university, the prosecutor charged him with committing a total of 30 crimes, consisting primarily in accepting financial benefits in exchange for issuing false documents in the form of postgraduate studies certificates, as well as committing crimes of abuse of the relationship of official dependence and causing other persons to have sexual intercourse or submit to other sexual activities, as well as to make threats against witnesses in order to influence their testimony in the case."

Thanks Tadj. Bad news for Pawel Cz. Good news for us.

 

Well...

Several education providers in Germany have cut their ties with them, and the general opinion is that if an institution has STILL any connections with them, they should not be considered "legit".

Even if they recover under some future new leadership, it's going to take a REALLY LONG TIME with all this being in the public eye in Poland. In the meantime, I would avoid them for reputation's sake, just as I would avoid Universidad Azteca, its degree-granting partner.
