We, the Board of Directors of the Kyiv-Mohyla Foundation, which supports the National University of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy, a premier university in Ukraine and one of the oldest in world, are meeting in Chicago in response to a national crisis of academic freedom, of university autonomy and of democracy in Ukraine. We hereby offer this resolution to state our position and call the world’s attention to this critical situation and its likely impact on Ukraine’s nascent democracy.
As co-chairman of the Kyiv-Mohyla Foundation, I participated in the meeting of the Foundation’s Board meeting, which took place in Chicago on March 19.
Academic Community Calls Out to Ukraine’s President for Change The foundation’s board members signed a Resolution calling upon Ukraine’s President, Prime Minister and Minister of Education, Research, Youth and Sports, to comply with Ukraine’s obligations under the Bologna Agreement, designed to reform higher education in a convergent way with European educational standards. They called attention to the subversive policies and activities of the Minister D. Tabachnik, intended to stop Ukraine’s integration with the European Union, specifically in the area of education.
