Dmitry Firtash Considered Perfect Philanthropist in Cambridge, Says Ukrainian Catholic University Rector

Interviewed by Radio Liberty, Borys Gudziak, Rector of the Ukrainian Catholic University said that the University of Cambridge considers Mr. Dmitry Firtash a perfect philanthropist.
 
Rev. Gudziak explained that Mr. Firtash never interferes with the operation of universities he sponsors while at the same time he is constantly interested in the programs he funds, attends festivities and other events on occasion of students’ graduation. “He has had certain ideas about what he wanted to support. Ukrainian studies. The University [of Cambridge] articulated their vision, the endowment was granted and there has been no interference whatsoever,” said the UCU Rector.
 
Borys Gudziak also stressed that the philanthropist donating to the Ukrainian Catholic University campus does not intervene in the University’s operation either.
