The director of the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Porto was the subject of a disciplinary process that resulted in a one-and-a-half month suspension. This process is part of a broader investigation into alleged irregularities in the admission criteria for the Medicine course.
The rector of the University of Porto publicly reported pressures that were allegedly exerted to accept candidates to the Medicine course without them meeting the minimum grade required for admission. These reports prompted the opening of an internal investigation at the faculty.
The institution instituted disciplinary processes against a total of 11 members, which includes the director of the faculty. The case involves issues related to the selection and admission criteria for students to the Medicine course.
