Professors demand removal of salary-lowering subject
Representatives of the teaching and administrative staff at Jordanian universities have called on the Senate Council to reconsider Article (H) of the proposed amendments to the University Law of 2026. This paragraph restricts the disbursement of incentives to revenues from parallel and international undergraduate programs only, and prevents their allocation from private graduate studies and cooperation programs. As a result, the revenues from these programs are excluded from the financial pool designated for incentives, which could lead to a reduction in their value by up to 50% at some universities. This may harm job stability and the universities’ ability to attract qualified staff. They emphasized that the proposed wording limits university flexibility and the authority of their Boards of Trustees and constrains employees’ financial rights. They are calling for the removal or modification of this paragraph to ensure that revenues from private and graduate studies continue to be included in the incentives for unconventional programs, while safeguarding the rights of current employees.
