The election of the head of the university student trade union committee was attended by the rector of Lesya Ukrainka Volyn State University, Oleksyuk I.D., the now former head of the trade union committee Fed O.A., the head of the Trade Unions of Ukraine in the Volyn region Karpomiz I.I., delegates from all faculties, trade union members, and representatives of public organizations. Recently, representatives of the Volyn organization "National Alliance" accused the leadership of the student trade union committee and its accounting department of illegally collecting 1% of funds as a trade union contribution from all students enrolled in full-time state-funded education. In connection with this, applications were submitted to the SBU, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the prosecutor's office requesting verification of whether Fed O.A.'s activity as head of the student trade union committee was lawful. The change of the student trade union committee head was preceded by actions organized by the "National Alliance": "What is Fedism?" (March 28, 2005) and picketing of the main building of Lesya Ukrainka Volyn State University (April 6, 2005); in addition, students called for being active and not allowing Fed O.A. to serve another term, but instead to elect a young, proactive person who understands the problems and interests of students and will contribute to their resolution in the future. In parallel, signatures were being collected on expressing no confidence in Fed O.A. at the university's faculties. After a tense six-hour "marathon," Mykhailo Shelep became the new head of the student trade union committee. "With this, the National Alliance has completed its campaign 'What is Fedism?', but will continue to monitor the lawfulness of the new student trade union committee's activity," reports the press service of the VO "National Alliance."
