The tenure of the current rector Benediktas Juodka is expiring on 11 October. Furthermore, Juodka is running for parliament this weekend with the Social Democratic Party.

VU Council Chairman Kazimieras Motieka has said the public competition for the rector's post would be announced after the parliament approves a new statute for the university and a new council is elected.
