ZHOGHOVURD: LOMONOSOV MOSCOW UNIVERSITY TO OPEN BRANCH IN ARMENIA
09:26 * 20.08.14
The Armenian cabinet approved at its latest meeting a proposal for
launching a branch of the Lomonosov Moscow University in Yerevan,
a move which the paper says aroused a big enthusiasm.
Referring to the agreement outlining the terms and conditions of the
branch's activities, the paper focuses particularly on the financial
part which clearly says that the material resources for the faculty
members and other specialists involved will be derived from Armenia's
State Budget.
Apart from the salary, the material resources also reportedly cover
the travel costs of the professors from Russia and the remuneration
of their compulsory payments.
"As you understand, the Lomonosov Moscow University's Armenian branch
will operate like all other government-funded universities in the
country, receiving funding from the State Budget at the expense of us,
the taxpayers.
"It is quite easy to guess that the professors at the Russian
university will not have the same workload as those at the universities
in Armenia. That means the salaries will be considerably higher. An
important things to know at this point is to what extent those costs
have been covered and whether there is any demand for having such a
university in Armenia," the paper comments.
