Very good doctors

One big challenge ...

The student registered in the counseling center at the Rector's Office, for an hour of personal growth, via the internal system. She received a written appointment from Dr. Boukalová and in the internal system this consultation is registered, as a 60-minute hour of personal growth, which was provided to the student in question. The teacher in question refused to provide that consultation. Dr. With a simple administrative act, Boukalová could either cancel this consultation from the system completely, or unregister the student's name and provide this lesson to someone else. She didn't do any of that. The person concerned justified the embezzlement of the reservation in the name of the student, in this way. Dr. Boukalová explained that she "refused" the reserved consultation, as she is on the side of the department, against the student. Which is nonsense. In the past, the student pointed out possible unethical and unprofessional practices at the Faculty of Arts, Charles University, to which she is entitled and no complaint should be detrimental. Could Hedvika Boukalová's approach be classified as revenge? Improper pressure? bullying? Or is such a procedure okay? Dr. Hedvika Boukalová referred to the fact that according to the code of ethics she can recognize bias - but there is no information in the code of ethics that Dr. Boukalová could side with the department, against the student - because the student fulfilled her academic duty and pointed out certain procedures at the department. We are concerned that this could be the case, on the part of Dr. Boukalové about embezzlement with academic and other values ​​than alleged respect for the code of ethics. We believe that the substance of the argument is no longer in line with academic principles. The student argued that such parties could not even exist in theory - there is only one party, the interest of all members of the academic community, that the evidence, which shows in particular possible unethical practices, should be addressed by authorized members of the academic community. Dr. Nevertheless, Boukalová refused to provide the consultation. In terms of financial compensation, the counseling center at the Rector's Office operates as follows: "Advisers to the UK Point / Carolina Center counseling center are paid on the basis of out-of-work agreements. They have a uniform hourly rate. The amount of work varies by agreement." The student asked for information on whether Dr. Boukalová reported a lesson that the student in question did not receive and received information "Even if the consultation did not take place, the lesson was included in the work report (or attendance sheet)." "Reporting work in the counseling center works by submitting an attendance sheet to the counselor at the end of each calendar month, which is checked by an authorized person." It was confirmed that Hedvika Boukalová reported this hour, for drawing funds ... Is such a procedure legal? Can a teacher report an hour for drawing funds that did not take place in the standard way? Respectively, the consultation did not take place at all. When it broke out, she defended herself by doing another activity - "reporting."
