BEIRUT: Contract professors at the Lebanese University Thursday called on the Shura Council to suspend the implementation of a decree that the Cabinet passed in July to resolve their work status.
"We call on the Shura Council to suspend the work on the dossier of employment that includes mistakes as many officials have said,” the professors said in a statement, criticizing the decision that they said failed to grant employment for all teachers working on contract at the university.
“We place our rights in your hands because the council is a trusted institution among the Lebanese and has always issued fair decisions.”
In its statement, the contract professors also asked for the university not to be subject to political pressure and grant contract teachers their right in employment.
In July, Lebanese ministers unanimously voted in favor of a decree to appoint deans to the LU council and hire a little over 1,000 contract professors as full-time lecturers, leaving hundreds others on contract.
