The Collegium Humanum scandal broke out in March 2023 with the detention of two people by the CBA who were supposed to be receiving financial and personal benefits. In February of this year, CBA officers detained seven people, three of whom were members of the Collegium Humanum authorities. One of the people was Rector Paweł Cz.

Collegium Humanum Affair. The case is being investigated by the prosecutor's office and the Central Anticorruption Bureau
The Rector of Collegium Humanum has been charged with accepting financial benefits for issuing false certificates of completion of postgraduate studies. According to the findings, he received over one million zlotys for issuing about one thousand diplomas. As reported by “Republic” the former rector of Collegium Humanum recently heard further allegations. Students from Ukraine were supposed to receive confirmation that they had been students of the university for a year, although they had never once attended classes. This was supposed to be a way to bypass the mandatory state exam in Ukraine.
Dr. hab. Krzysztof Koźmiński, who represents the injured parties in the Collegium Humanum case, in an interview with “Republic” he said that the case violates civil, administrative and constitutional law. His clients want to finish or continue their studies. However, this is not possible because the documents from the former Collegium Humanum cannot be recovered. – Our clients are in different factual situations, but all of them are suffering as a result of the paralysis of the university that has been going on for many weeks – he said. He added that many people had their studies financed by an external entity or employer. Now they are demanding a refund of the funds, and employers are threatening to dismiss them due to failure to complete their studies.
