Professors told they cannot work for UJ and at the same time private universities

The Senate of Jagielloński University, want to ban their professors and employees from working for other universities. Senators decided that such additional jobs are not acceptable, especially if they are employed by private universities. By the end of winter term, university lecturers will have to decide either they work for UJ or for other institutes. UJ's Chancellor Franciszek Ziejka said that he wanted to prohibit his staff holding several jobs, as in such situations, "All the profits always go to the private universities," and that those employed in other schools neglect their duties for UJ. "The Dean always lacks a quorum when important d ecisions need to be taken," explained Ziejka. Some of the professors, especially those closely related to the University and respecting its traditions, support the move, which is a precedent in the history of Polish academia.
