Employees of the Higher School of Economics (NRU HSE) have been conducting research on the phenomenon of student expulsion for several years. On the results of the work of a team of scientists at the II International Conference of Researchers higher education“Universities and the State” was told by HSE analyst Elena Kolotova.

In many universities, student expulsion is considered a tool for maintaining a high level of educational quality. From this point of view, if a student is kicked out, he has only himself to blame, his poor preparation and inability to learn. In fact, there are many reasons for academic failure, and high level Attrition can be interpreted as an indicator that the university cannot provide optimal learning conditions. At the same time, for the state, every expelled student means money wasted on his education, and a shortage of qualified personnel in the future (especially in combination with the trend of decreasing birth rates).

The student dropout rate in Russia is not very high - 21 percent, which is much lower than, for example, in the United States, where it reaches 54 percent. But it’s not the lowest either - in Korea, only 15 percent of students do not complete their studies.

Scientists from the National Research University Higher School of Economics set the task of identifying, using the example of students from their university, the reasons why they stop studying, and the factors that contribute to this or, conversely, reduce the risk of expulsion. For the study, “cohorts” of students who entered the university in 2007, 2008 and 2009 were taken.

Since most college expulsions are due to academic failure, researchers have focused specifically on this type of expulsion, although the tails are not the only reason, according to which students leave the university.

Observing the fate of students who entered the Higher School of Economics in 2007, researchers found that at the beginning of the fourth year, 22 percent of students were expelled due to academic failure. If we add to them those who left the university without debt, the share of expelled students will rise to 27 percent. The greatest risk occurs at the beginning of the second course. This is the time to retake the “tails” remaining after the first year of study. That is, we can say that mostly students drop out from the first year.

Students who are older than their classmates are at risk; male; are studying in a paid department or had benefits upon admission (disabled people, orphans, etc.). Also, nonresident students are also more likely than others to leave a university due to academic failure. On the contrary, factors such as: gold medal and a high Unified State Examination score. Here the researchers note that for the 2009 “cohort” the influence Unified State Exam results the likelihood of expulsion is no longer so noticeable. This has given rise to the hypothesis that the mass introduction of this exam has reduced its differentiating ability, but further research is required to prove this.

Student attrition rates vary markedly among HSE faculties. There are faculties from which students are actively expelled, for example economics, where the dropout rate exceeds 30 percent. And there are also those where the dropout rate is small: in International Institute Economics and Finance (an autonomous division of the National Research University Higher School of Economics) it is less than 8 percent.

To explain this difference, the researchers interviewed academic staff and students. It turned out that student dropout is facilitated by their number (the more students in a department, the less attention each of them receives from teachers and university staff) and the presence of “problem” disciplines. For HSE, the most problematic disciplines turned out to be social and political statistics, 59 percent of students retake it, and socio-economic statistics - 45 percent retake it. Subjects are difficult for students for a number of reasons: for example, they may lack basic knowledge or time to prepare. Some students skimp on the rules of studying at HSE (for example, they hope to buy an exam or cheat). For nonresident students, everyday difficulties become an additional burden. Finally, important role teachers play: the success of learning largely depends on the style of presentation of the material, the requirements of the teacher and conflicts with him. Some professors are even called “forest orderlies” because they see their goal in expelling “bad” students.

Students themselves have different attitudes to the threat of expulsion. For undergraduate students this is serious problem, and they, as a rule, try with all their might to stay at the university. While for master's students, expulsion is not such a big problem, and often they themselves refuse to study if problems arise in their studies or even in the absence of them. An important factor here is employment outside the university. If a student already has a job or other activity that competes with his studies, it is easier for him to leave the university.

Accordingly, undergraduate students, if they have already been expelled, then try to either reinstate themselves at HSE, or enroll again (possibly in a different department), or move to another, sometimes less prestigious university. Master's students, if they leave, are not so eager to return: they can take a long break or quit studying altogether, and if they enroll again, it will not be to a less prestigious university, although they can radically change their field of study.

The plaintiff's argument that the defendant did not take written explanations from the plaintiff before the expulsion order was issued, which is the basis for canceling the order, the court finds untenable, since the Regulations on the organization of knowledge control at the state university - the Higher School of Economics, approved by the academic council of the State University - Higher School of Economics dated March 26, 2010. No. 11 provides for the possibility of expelling a student for academic failure without receiving a written explanation from the student (clause 52 of the Regulations).

The decision can be appealed to the Moscow City Court through the Basmanny District Court of Moscow within 10 days.

At the Higher School of Economics, a case of forgery in an exam was revealed - 3rd year student Anatoly Shirykalov retook the written exam for 1st year student of the Faculty of State and Municipal Administration Anton Balalykin. Both were expelled from the university. HSE Vice-Rector Sergei Roshchin comments on the situation.

- Sergey Yurievich, what is the position of the university administration regarding this incident?

We are faced with a situation that is clearly considered unacceptable by the leadership and administration of the HSE. Moreover, in this case we have a forgery with both legal point both from the point of view - the photo on the student card was falsified, and from the point of view of violating the norms of corporate ethics of the Higher School of Economics. Both students were expelled for violating paragraph “G” of Art. 188 of the HSE Charter, which obliges the student to comply with the rules of fair play, not to allow written work to be submitted by others, and not to commit fraud. It’s strange that such rules need to be “prescribed,” but life shows that this is justified, since students considered it possible to do this.

Leaving aside legal aspects gravity of forgery, I would like to say that the elements of forgery, plagiarism, intellectual theft are all actions associated with a violation of the corporate ethics of the Higher School of Economics. In sports there is such a concept as fair play; in my opinion, it is applicable in other areas of activity. University spirit a priori implies fair play in the academic sphere.

- What is the reaction of the student community to the current situation?

Alas, as it turns out, not all students fully understand the reasons for their colleagues’ expulsion from the university. The university administration received a letter initiated by one of the participants in the incident with the signatures of students who believe that the offense is not significant enough to require such harsh disciplinary measures. And this is the most alarming thing for me - it means that not only these guys have signs of corrosion of consciousness and a willingness to violate the principles of fair play; other students are also ready to turn a blind eye to them.

HSE consistently strives to maintain compliance with academic standards in research and teaching activities. Here we do not make exceptions for anyone. And good academic performance and success in academic activities are not grounds for violating the norms and principles of corporate ethics and the university charter. Anyone who does not want or cannot accept these rules must be prepared for the fact that they are not on the same path with HSE.
