At the present time the University is headed by Prof. Ing. Ignác Hoza, CSc., who was appointed to the post of TBU Rector on 12 May 2007 by Czech President Václav Klaus.
The University was constituted as of 1 January 2001 after its Establishment Act was signed by President Václav Havel on 14 November 2000. Tomas Bata University, headed by its first Rector, Prof. Ing. Petr Sáha, CSc., achieved rapid development during the first years of its existence (in 2001-7). Higher education in Zlín has a long tradition. The Faculty of Technology has been here since 1969, first as part of VUT Brno, and it has educated hundreds of specialists, particularly for the rubber and plastics industries. The University was named after the ingenious entrepreneur Tomáš Baťa (1876-1932), who initiated the development of the shoe industry in Zlín and won worldwide fame. His son, the Canadian entrepreneur Tomáš Baťa Jr. (b.1914), heads the University Board of Governors. |
