Enrollment at the European University for the Humanities has tripled after it was declared "extremist" in Belarus. University started making students and teachers anonymous The European Humanities University (EHU), located in Vilnius, registered only about 150 people in 2026. SOTA was informed of this by a source close to the university administration. According to him, due to an insufficient number of applicants, some education programs were not even opened this year. According to EHU's official annual report, 454 people entered the university in 2025, 463 in 2024, and 640 in 2023. Thus, the registrants dropped by about 70% during the year. In particular, according to SOTA, the theater and acting arts program was not launched in the 2026–2027 school year. In 2025, 10 people entered this specialization. However, the program is still displayed on the university's official website. The number of students who entered YSU in previous years is also decreasing. According to the observations of SOTA journalist Petar Ivanov, a fourth-year student in the communication and communication program, during his studies the size of his group decreased by three times. Some students dropped out after the university was recognized as an "extremist organization"; Others were transferred to universities in Lithuania with similar educational programs. Moreover, the reduction of the group took place even before the decision of the Belarusian authorities. The internal organization of the educational process has also changed. The university has begun to make online communication between students and teachers anonymous. In particular, the students' corporate email addresses have changed. While they used to contain the student's first and last name, they are now replaced by an identification number. In addition, the procedure for submitting assignments via the Moodle educational platform has changed. In the past, students posted their work in public forums where other students could see it.
