mass reduction of staff at MSU, which drew the attention of the Minister of Education Dmitry Livanov, is not yet happening, although the university is the unspoken set of dismissal, for example, part-time. This was “the Newspaper” working at the university told the teachers and scholars. Authors of the open letter to Vladimir Putin, in which he said the reductions at MSU are unhappy with their message.
first reports of reductions in MSU appeared last summer. Then the professor Galina Tsirlina working at the Chemistry Department, turned into an electronic receiver to MSU rector’s office with the requirements to clarify the situation. Tsirlina drawn attention to two facts. The first – the documents filed in June to contest for the vacant staff positions to graduates of Moscow State University after the deadline for submission of documents under the formal pretext was prevented from participating in competitions, and the relevant staff positions have been cut. The second fact is that the administrative entity in the extended-order cook “lists on the decline”, guided by the target of the “average salary of not less than 60,000 rubles a month,” according to the known directives of the Party and the government (meaning the so-called May decrees the president).
Commenting on these reports, rector of Moscow State University Victor Sadovnichiy said , that the university is “taking steps to increase wages to the faculty and research staff in the execution of the order president and government regulations ».

The letter, teachers and scientists MSU sent on the eve of Putin , cited the following facts about the cuts and layoffs: “The Institute of Mechanics, Moscow State University and a number of Faculty of Science (Mathematics and Mechanics, biological) No contracts have been extended to many employees, part-time worker. By the next school year are expected even bigger cuts jobholders. In addition, most units are frozen free bet – that is, in spite of the availability rates, division managers can not hire new employees. Became known cases of forced students and staff to dismiss at will. In particular, some biology students, who combined school and work at a laboratory assistant, was forced to release rates at will.
In the future, and do you plan to spend massive, up to 30-50% reduction of scientific rates. These plans may commence in the current academic year ».
on Thursday responded to a letter from the Minister of Education and Science Dmitry Livanov. He said that “given today Rosobrnadzor order to understand this situation, to understand what is going on and whether violations of the rights of teachers».
The minister said that in an open letter to President teachers found “a number of very serious mistakes».
At the time of 23.59 on Nov. 10 letter signed by just 46 people. Among them, for example, one of the leaders of the Initiative Group of MSU Mikhail Lobanov. This informal organization has done a lot to ensure that the information about the loans in the thesis of the former Director AESC MSU Andrew Andriyanova became public (and the reorganization of the Higher Attestation Commission and, in fact, the project “Dissernet” started right after this story). In February Lobanov, is a lecturer at the Mechanics and Mathematics Department, was fired from the Moscow State University (in his opinion – for political activism and criticism of administration), but after meeting with gardening he was reinstated in his post .
Although the letter has caused widespread discussion in social networks and honored with comments the minister, the authors believe this initiative failed.
One of the authors of the letter, who asked to remain anonymous, in a conversation with a reporter “Gazety.Ru” lamented the fact that in the final version of the appeal to Putin has shortcomings. “Not clearly spelled out the important thing: the protest is not aimed at the fact that no one should be dismissed, because all employees of the Moscow State University work well. Unfortunately, the letter can be just such a conclusion. The protest is aimed at the fact that there shall be no reduction in rates. If a bad scientist working employee fired, then where will the vacated his money bet? Well, if by science, and even better – the salary for those who work well. But surely the rate will be reduced, and this money will go or economic-administrative needs, or even to facilitate the organization’s budget.
We are precisely against such a situation – mass layoffs and cuts rates. No need to carry the reduction of employees, and optimize ».
Thursday publicly commented on the letter and the rector of Moscow State University Viktor Sadovnichiy. “In the letter, made some mistakes. Who wrote it did not have the knowledge about the real state of affairs. At Moscow University, neither a staff member of the faculty and research staff involved in the learning process, not reduced. And these cuts will not be held, “- he said. In this case, the rector of Moscow State University said that the University “raised the average salary of teachers to a little more than 70 thousand rubles, and the researcher – to more than 60,000».

confirmed facts of mass layoffs “Gazety.Ru” really could not be obtained. In a survey of ten units of MSU staff all agreed that the dismissal of which they know they are isolated cases due to the natural course of events. However, all interviewees noted that their salaries are far from the amounts that in interviews as the average salary in Moscow State University Rector calls in recent years.
This officer close to the leadership of one of the units of the Moscow State University, said “the Newspaper”, which MSU is an unofficial setting the optimization, which is expressed, for example, is to lay off part-time, while leaving those who are Head of the grant or just an active scholar with a good citation.
«But the official centralized instructions on the matter does not exist, and at the moment the question of optimization is the prerogative of the units. For example, the Biology Department took over the case in the summer too zealously, “- added the source.
On the situation in the Physics Department of Moscow State University, which is one of the leaders of the university by the number of faculty and research staff (about 800), “the Newspaper” said Alexander Vasilyev, head of Solid State Physics and Head of the Department of low-temperature superconductivity.
– Say whether the validity of the facts stated in the letter?
– No. And I can tell you why. No mass reduction does not occur, this is the first. According to our department did not have any layoffs. One employee joined the Kurchatov Institute, and one employee has left the scientific activities, but these are individual cases. Second, the teachers was markedly increased in January of this year, it allocated additional funds from the Ministry.
– you are talking about your department. And within the faculty?
– I know about the situation in the physics department, because I enter a different committee. And nowhere is this was not. But I believe that the university needs to work effectively.
So I think that would be perfectly normal, if you hold a certain optimizations – this word is nothing wrong.
There are people who do not work, do not keep them in science. And this will lead to an increase in the level of work.

– A current system of monitoring the effectiveness of researchers and teachers need to be changed?
– I believe that it should be made more stringent. Science is, of course, sensitive to human activities, but there are some universal criteria. The standard method against which many are protesting this Scientometrics – h-index, citation. Against him desperately fighting those who have bad with these indicators. , It looks like many of our employees under any circumstances, could apply for similar positions at universities in other countries. There’s a whole other level, people, especially the young, working very hard, he is a regular contributor, is referenced. Links show what impact you had on the world scientific process. If you for a lifetime no one referred to, then you have no impact, in fact, did not have.
Therefore, I believe that we should take into account Scientometrics, and just the way it is done all over the world.
Here I am – Head of the Department of Solid State Physics and know very well what is our human resources. And good to know that is the Institute of Solid State Physics at the University of Tokyo. There just is not there people who can not for many years writing articles on which no links, they may under no circumstances can continue to work in science. It’s a tough position, but I want to MSU took its rightful place among other universities of the world. And now this place is falling every year.
