Gdańsk University entry scam examined by Civil Rights Commissioner

Newspapers revealed that the university has a practice of accepting appeals of candidates whose parents are VIPs or established lawyers, even though some of them failed to attain the required exam score by a wide margin. Furthermore, the list of candidates who were approved following appeals over the past three years and the justification of the decisions to admit them, are all secret. The Commissioner called on the rector to respond to these charges and has joined Gazeta Wyborcza's legal proceedings seeking disclosure of the secret lists. (Gazeta Wyborcza, p. 6) T.J.
