Collective Action

Part-time professors at the Lebanese University stage sit-ins in front of the Serail and the Ministry of Education to demand that the government approve the dossier of full-time positions

نفّذ الأساتذة المتعاقدون في الجامعة اللبنانية اعتصاماً أمام السرايا الحكوميّة و وزارة التربية لمطالبة الحكومة بإقرار ملف التفرّغ. يستمرّ امتناع المتعاقدين عن التدريس منذ بداية العام الدراسي، لكنّ عدداً من الأساتذة خرقوا الإضراب مع تهديد الجامعة بمنح حصصهم للأساتذة المتفرّغين. يشكّل الأساتذة المتعاقدون نحو ثلثَي عدد الأساتذة في الجامعة اللبنانية، وقد رفعوا شعار «لن نعود إلى الجامعة إلا متفرّغين».

Part-time professors at the Lebanese University staged a sit-in in front of the Government Serail and the Ministry of Education to demand that the government approve the dossier of full-time positions. Part-time professors have refrained from teaching since the start of the academic year, but a number of professors broke the strike when the university threatened to give their hours away to full-time professors. Part-time professors make up approximately two-thirds of the faculty at the Lebanese University. They raised the slogan “We will not return to the university except as full-timers.”
