The court has acquitted a professor from Lviv Polytechnic University who showed pornographic material to students

Professor was claiming it was for stress relief. The decision of court was made after a re-examination that confirmed the testing program was safe and had features designed to relieve stress and shift attention.

In December 2020, it was revealed that the professor, during a discrete mathematics test, displayed pornographic images to first-year students. He described his method as “relaxing” and argued that a similar practice is used in Japan.

However, several students expressed their dissatisfaction, stating they did not want to see explicit photos. The professor responded by saying he does not force students to view the images but aims to increase the efficiency of their work.
