The decisions on the future of transport universities should not be made in haste, the Deputy Minister of Transportation said.
Sergei Aristov speaking at the 5th International Conference "Human Resources Policy in St. Petersburg" cited the situation with Taigisnky Institute of Railway Transport. "It (the institute – Ed.) was created at the beginning of the last century... People working on the Trans-Siberian Railway, are the institute graduates. I appeal to the deputies of the State Duma and Federation Council members: hasty decisions that are being made in respect of the universities… are just unacceptable," Aristov said.
The Taiginsky Institute of Railway Transport is a branch of the Federal Omsk State University of Communications.
