The ISM Ethics Commission operates under defined timelines for handling grievances. The Commission must issue a determination regarding the initial consideration of a received complaint within ten calendar days. If the complaint is deemed worthy of consideration, a final decision must be reached within thirty calendar days of its submission.
Throughout the duration of this review process, the university is instructed to suspend any preliminary assessments or the issuance of more detailed commentary. Regarding the doctoral defense procedure, the awarding of a doctoral degree involves a council comprising academics from both Lithuanian and international institutions. In alignment with established international academic practices, the public expression of evaluations or opinions does not, by itself, constitute grounds to challenge the collective decision of the academic panel.
Such challenges must strictly adhere to the prescribed academic procedures, which are currently being followed. The ISM University of Management and Economics is the institution hosting the dissertation defense. These protocols ensure a structured and formal review process for all academic milestones, including the defense of a doctoral thesis.
The adherence to these procedural guidelines is maintained to ensure fairness and consistency in the evaluation of academic work at ISM.
