In 2012, the university elected him as rector. In 2013, he published three papers in a predatory journal to meet the formal conditions for a tenured position.[2][3][4] He was exposed by Professor Qendrim Gashi who demanded his resignation or removal as Rector.[5] Later, the same was demanded by other professors[6][7] and students.[8] On 8 February 2014 he resigned following two weeks of protests by students and civil society.[9]
