The main university of the Urals explained the absence of gowns at the graduation ceremony.

      The Ural Federal University explained the absence of gowns at the graduation ceremony. It became known on the morning before the graduation on June 27 that there would not be enough gowns for all the graduates, reports "Ъ-Ural." According to the contract, the gowns were supposed to be delivered on June 22, but the supplier informed in a letter that the delivery would be on the evening of June 26. However, by the morning of June 27, UrFU only had part of the sets. Some of them were incomplete or did not meet the requirements. "The lengths of the scarves and shades of colors are different, the scarves lacked fusible interfacing, and the sewing standards were violated," university representatives explained.

      The sets were being assembled in the UrFU building all night, but there are different versions regarding who was responsible for this. According to the supplier LLC "Terminal" (brand "Creative Merch Bureau"), it was done by their employees, while the university claims it was the university staff.

      As indicated in the correspondence provided by the company, closer to 7 AM, university representatives stated that they would not accept the gowns, as only 2/3 of the total volume had arrived, and there would still not be enough sets for all graduates, reports "Ъ-Ural."

      "We cannot allow a situation where some graduates are in gowns and others are not. To maintain unity and solidarity, we had to make the decision to refuse gowns for everyone at the ceremony," the UrFU Telegram channel stated.

      Currently, the sets, as claimed by the company, are at the university, with only a 30% advance payment made, and the acceptance acts for the gowns have not been signed. The university sent a notice of contract termination. The total cost of the contract exceeds 11 million rubles. The parties have not yet decided how to handle the gowns already received by the university. It is possible that they will still be handed out to those students who wish to receive the ceremonial set.
