It does not
matter how long one can lie, the truth will be revealed anyway. That
is what happened with a team of SLU bureaucrats who got a task to
justify by any means the illegal termination of my PhD project.
On March 25th, the “supervisor”
group informed me that all the resources were withdrawn from my PhD
project, except the salaries that SLU is paying to three professors
and one doctor for pretending to be my supervisors. Since by the law
(Higher Educational Ordinance) the decision about withdrawing the
resources from PhD studies can be done only by the rector, I
wondered:

Dear Elena K
The faculty agrees with the
statements made by the supervisor group in the ISP concerning the
direct financing of the project since the financial situation does
not allow any additional direct costs. However, there has been no
formal decision to withdraw resources and the supervisor group still
provides guidance to you as a PhD student.

Thank you for the reply. However, it
is difficult to understand what do you mean. Since it is an important
question, I would appreciate it if you provide me with more details:
1. What does resources for PhD
education usually include?
2. Which part of this resources has
been withdrawn from my studies? Please, provide me with a copy of
the decision.
3. Which part of the resources is
left?
Thank you in advance.

Wait a second!
For more than a year this bureaucratic gang was talking that
stipend or salary is not a study resource! That is why they could
take my salary without any formal decision. It does not call
“withdrawing” they said. And now Mr. B. just gave away the show!
Well, these things became more interesting, so I asked:

I apologize for bothering you, but
you need to understand that this question is important for me.
Please, can you write more clear, what do these points mean? In the
first message you wrote "The faculty agrees with the statements
made by the supervisor group in the ISP concerning the direct
financing of the project since the financial situation does not allow
any additional direct costs." where do these resource belong to?
When they were withdrawn?

1. You refuse to provide me with
information regarding my own studies. You act against the Swedish
law.
2. I still do not have a supervisor.
The group of the people appointed as my supervisors is illegal,
because the appointment was done in conflict with prescribed rules
and, as a result, the biased persons were selected. Surely, people,
who are participating in this performance understand that they are
involved in the act of psychological violence against me.

Summary. The salary is a study recourse. This study resource was withdrawn
from my PhD against the law.
Higher
Education Ordinance; Chapter 6, Section 30 : Swedish
University of Agricultural Sciences
If
a doctoral student substantially neglects his or her undertakings in
the individual study plan, the vice-chancellor shall decide that the
doctoral student is no longer entitled to supervision and other study
resources. Before such a decision is made, the doctoral student and
the supervisors shall be given an opportunity to make
representations. The case shall be considered on the basis of their
reports and any other records available. The assessment shall take
into account whether the higher education institution has fulfilled
its own undertakings in the individual study plan. A written record
of the decision shall be made, which is to include reasons for the
decision.
Resources
may not be withdrawn for any period in which the third-cycle student
has been appointed to a doctoral studentship or is receiving a
doctoral grant. Ordinance (2010:1064).
