Vice Rector Mikhail Karpukhin, who worked there for more than 30 years, is leaving the Ural Agrarian University. The prosecutor's office became interested in his activities, as the source told, Karpukhin was at the same time the vice rector for scientific work and the head of the department for growing vegetables and fruits. The department entered into agreements with the university for scientific services, and Karpukhin, according to the source, signed them on both sides - as a client and as a performer. For this work he received money and bonuses. The attorney's office saw this as signs of a conflict of interest. At the same time, the combination of roles itself is not prohibited, and the problem could be solved by abandoning one of them. But, according to preliminary data, Mikhail decided to leave the university completely. It may be related to the fight for the position of rector. Mikhail Karpukhin applied for this position, which is now temporarily occupied by Mikhail Plyagin.
