The portal wjamszpile.pl returns to issues related to the education of advanced officials in Gdańsk master's degree, asking uncomfortable questions about their MBA titles. This time the situation took a amazing turn.

Before the city council session, a writer tried to talk to Peter GrzelakDeputy president of Gdańsk. erstwhile asked about the MBA study, the authoritative decidedly refused to answer, and while closing the door behind him hit the reporter with the door just in the leg.

He reacted a small more calmly. Piotr Kryszewski, another high-ranking authoritative – present the CEO of the Municipal Office in Gdańsk, and until late Deputy president of Gdańsk. erstwhile asked about his education, he directed the writer to the press office.

It seems that expanding media interest in the issue of MBA diplomas is not accidental. any politicians and officials avoid answering questions about their education, which only fuels doubts.

Anonymous complaint and request for public information

Similar questions have already been asked in the context of the Gdańsk Magistrate. In October, the portal wbięmszpile.pl received an anonymous letter, which the author pointed to doubts about the education of 4 crucial officials: Piotr Grzelak, Marek Bonisławski, Marcin Bonisławski and Magdalena Mistat. The website's editorial board so applied for public information to find out what the universities had completed, obtaining MBA titles. peculiar attention was paid to the functions performed by these persons in the supervisory boards of municipal companies.

The proposal has led to a broad discussion. any speakers stressed the request for greater transparency in the management of public institutions. Others have noted that the deficiency of answers to questions about the education of officials may undermine assurance in their competences, especially as average graduates of higher and postgraduate faculties boast of their achievements.

Data processing and hold in response

Although the request was lodged on 23 October, the answer was inactive not given. The city office indicated a fresh deadline – 6 December 2024. The reason for the hold is “the complexity of the application” and the request for data processing. The manager of the Department of Personnel and Organization, Karolina Kucharska, reported that the consequence requires a number of additional activities that are not method data transfer. This translation raised further questions about the scope of the information to be "processed" and whether all the required papers were actually available.

Why are we asking about MBA officials?

It is worth recalling that the MBA diploma scandal broke out against the background of irregularities related to Collegium Humanum – a university to be active in mass sales of low quality diplomas. This scandal echoed erstwhile it turned out that many politicians and officials had graduated from MBA at the university. Among them is Jacek Sutryk, president of Wrocław, a friend of Piotr Grzelak.

Does akin doubts besides apply to officials of the Gdańsk Magistrate? The failure to answer this question gives emergence to further speculation which the authorities should stop.

Titles of the MBA and transparency of power and officials

It wasn't just Collegium Humanum that got caught up in the media. In fresh months, the quality of MBA programmes and their importance for political careers have been increasingly discussed. The completion of specified studies has become a popular way of raising qualifications and building professional prestige. However, as the Collegium Humanum scandal shows, not all colleges meet advanced academic standards. specified cases may undermine the credibility of people who usage the MBA title, especially in the public sphere.

In conclusion, questions about the education of officials are not only a substance of image but besides of work towards citizens. If there's nothing to hide, the answer should be fast and factual. deficiency of transparency leads to speculation that can harm both individuals and the full institutions.

What do opposition councillors say?

We asked Kazimierz Koralewski, a PiS councillor who holds an MBA diploma obtained at Collegium Humanum, if the PiS councillors would take an initiative like the pole councillors to make the MBA diplomas of all members of supervisory boards public in urban companies.

“We do not want to put those who have earned their diplomas at hazard with their hard work,” says Kazimierz Koralewski.

Meanwhile, the editorial board receives further anonymous letters with fresh names from the Municipal Office of Gdańsk, who may be graduates at Collegium Humanum. We'll keep investigating the case.
