The Ethics Committee of Frank University recommended the dismissal of Professor Losy.


The lecturer of the Faculty of Journalism at Lviv National University, Yosyp Losy, should be dismissed based on the recommendation of the university's ethics committee. This decision was made after allegations of harassment from former students against him. This was reported by 'Glavkom' referring to the student government of LNU.
Kateryna Rodak, a journalist who was the first to make accusations against Losy, stated that she received letters from other former students who also reported sexual harassment by the lecturer.
After the closed part of the meeting, the head of the committee recommended Rector Volodymyr Melnyk to dismiss Yosyp Losy based on numerous appeals from students.
It is worth noting that at the previous meeting of the ethics committee, which took place on February 27, some lecturers expressed support for Losy. The lecturer himself considers the accusations an attempt to 'discredit the university.'
Yuriy Vysotsky, a lecturer at the Kyiv National University of Theatre, Cinema and Television named after I. Karpenko-Kary, was also suspended from work due to accusations of sexual harassment. An investigation is ongoing.
It is also worth mentioning that Andriy Bilous, the artistic director of the Young Theatre, has also been accused of sexual harassment.
Videos with the hashtag 'Don't be silent' appeared on social media, where women shared their experiences of harassment by lecturers they encountered. The National Police also reminded about the signs to look out for in similar situations.
