The first faculty in Niš to back the student blockade. From July 2026 its staff went three months without a single dinar of pay and lost their health insurance, while every other faculty received its funding, and the Government split off three of its departments into a new Faculty of Serbian Studies. The faculty sued the Ministry of Education and filed a criminal complaint against minister Dejan Vuk Stanković, who, according to the former dean, called the withheld funding a punishment for the blockade. The ministry denies it is retaliating against the staff.
