MOME’s Rector calls for a vote of confidence in his role
Date: 2025.02.07
Rector Pál Koós, who has dedicated 24 years to Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design in various roles – including as a lecturer, head of department, vice rector, and now as rector – is committed to resolving the situation that has arisen in recent days. His priority is to ensure a calm and uninterrupted environment for work and education, which requires clarification of the legitimacy of his position. Therefore, he has formally initiated a vote of confidence in the Senate today.
As already communicated by the university today, the Board of Trustees of the Foundation for Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design reached unanimous decisions on 7 February to expand the Senate’s powers. In addition, former Rector and university professor Gábor Kopek has addressed the university community in a letter, underlining the importance of dialogue and reaching an agreement.

With profound sorrow, we say goodbye to Chief of Cabinet to the Rector Nikoletta Lakatos, who passed away at the age of barely 40 after a sudden and aggressive illness. Her career was cut tragically short, yet its impact far exceeded the time she had, and it is hard to accept that someone who brought such warmth and vitality is no longer here with us.
