President Zuzana Caputova on Thursday dismissed Bratislava-based Slovak University of Technology (STU) chancellor Miroslav Fikar. The Presidential Office received the district court's verdict, turning down the proposal for a preliminary injunction on the issue of Fikar's dismissal from the post of STU chancellor by the university's Academic Senate. "This court decision removed a circumstance that might have caused legal uncertainty around the fulfilment of the Academic Senate's will," said the President's spokesman Martin Strizinec. The Education Ministry examined the process of Fikar's ouster for several months as well.
