Student Protest at KNUKiI

On February 3, KNUKiI instructor Oleksandr Balaban was dismissed. Prior to this, a scandal erupted over alleged inappropriate behavior by the academic. A former student claimed that Balaban conducted "anti-cellulite massages in private classrooms" and made vulgar comments towards female students.

KNUKiI students gathered today for a protest, demanding the reinstatement of instructor Oleksandr Balaban. One student shared that the accusations against him are false. The young woman asserted that she attended his classes and everything was fine. Maria also stated that students are seeking a conversation with Poplavskyi.

"The university is not responding. You see, we are standing here protesting, and they are not reacting at all. People are already freezing, and no one is coming out," the girl recounted.

We remind you that the Kyiv National University of Culture and Arts has dismissed director and instructor Oleksandr Balaban. The administration stated that it cannot ignore the accusations and wishes to verify their validity.

The daughter of famous Ukrainian actress Olha Sumska, Anna Borysiuk, claimed that during her studies at the Karpenko-Kary University, she faced psychological pressure from a teacher.
