Working Principles

ARTICLE 36

Professors and Associate Professors fall into two groups, those employed on a full-time, permanent basis and those on a part-time one:

Those employed on a permanent basis at the university

Professors and Associate Professors of this category devote all their working time to activities relating to the university.

Except in the case of special duties set down in special laws, they may not take on any work of any kind, paid or unpaid, official or private, outside the higher education institutions, with the exception of royalty payments and duties stipulated by special laws.

Their work in public institutions, and in such organizations as aim to serve the public interest, and with which the University Administrative Board has agreed to cooperate, is counted as work carried out within the university.

All payments due from work of this kind are entered as income in the Revolving Fund of the organization at which the Professor or Associate Professor is employed.

Those employed on a part-time basis at the university

Those Professors and Associate Professors, who are appointed for a period of two years at a time, are obliged to be present for at least twenty hours a week at the university. They are to undertake teaching duties, practical work and research under the direction of the Head of the Department. They:

receive no supplementary salary nor any increment of any kind; nor may they benefit from the revenue of the Revolving Fund.
cannot serve as Rector, Dean, Director of Graduate Schools and Schools of Higher Education, or Head of Department; nor can they become their deputies. However, they may serve as Graduate School Director, Department Head, or Section Head within the working hours and period stipulated for civil servants.
may go abroad to further their knowledge, to carry out research work and to take part in any academic activity, but their expenses are not to be paid for out of the budget or out of university funds.

The appointment of those whose services are still required after two years is reserved according to the same procedure as of the original appointment. The appointment of those who wish to be employed on a permanent basis can be made in accordance with the provisions of this law if there is an opening in the relevant department, for such an appointment.

Assistant Professors may only be employed on a permanent basis in the university and in the units attached to it.

Teaching staff members, employed on a permanent basis, and the salaried ancillary staff, are to carry out such duties as those of teaching, research, practical and administrative work and whatever is assigned to them by the university organs. Their minimum working hours will correspond to those of civil servants.

The decision as to how much of the practical work, seminars and doctorate work either carried out or supervised by teaching staff members is to be counted towards the minimum total of ten hours of teaching per week rests with the Council of Higher Education.

The weekly load of teaching work for instructors and lecturers employed at a university and at its attached organizations is to be determined by the Council of Higher Education, with a minimum of 12 hours per week.

The work of teaching faculty members will be supervised by Heads of Departments, Directors of Graduate Schools and Schools of Higher Education, Deans and Rectors.

Rectors, Deans, Directors of Graduate Schools and Schools of Higher Education are exempted from the requirement of the weekly teaching load. The weekly teaching load for Vice-Rectors, Assistant Deans, and Assistant Directors of Graduate Schools and Schools of Higher Education, and for Heads of Departments is half the term specified above.
