Teaching staff members may not be deprived of the academic titles they have earned except under the provisions of this law.

Those leaving the teaching profession consequent on changing their jobs, retiring or resigning or being considered to have done so, may keep their academic titles. The titles of Professor, Associate Professor and Assistant Professor may only be used in places of work other than institutions of higher education if the bearer has completed at least two years in an institution of higher education after being granted the title.
