Interinstitutional Cooperation

ARTICLE 40

  1. Should the teaching staff members or the ancillary staff of an institution of higher education have a teaching load of less than is prescribed, the Rector can assign them to teaching duties either in other departments of their own universities or in other higher education institutions in the same city. They are eligible for extra payment by the institution to which they are assigned only if the weekly teaching load is then exceeded.

  2. A teaching staff member may be asked to take up teaching duties at a university which has asked for such help. Following the approval of the Rector (s)he will be assigned by the Council of Higher Education for a minimum period of one academic year if both (s)he and the respective Administrative Board agree. The staff position of the teaching staff member thus assigned shall be kept open for him/her for a period of five years. When a vacancy is being filled, priority will be given to the candidate who, all else being equal, has served for at least 5 years at a higher education institution in one of the developing regions of the country.

  3. The needs for teaching staff members of the higher education institutions of the Turkish Armed Forces and the Security Forces – which are not covered by this law – shall be met from among the chosen staff preferably in higher education institutions of the same city. Assignment procedures are the same as those described in paragraph (a) above. Such teaching staff members are to be requested by name.
