The Legal System for The Promotion of University Faculty Members in Libya: A Critical Analytical Look

Abstract

This is a critical analytical study of the legal system for the promotion of faculty members in Libyan universities. It examines both the texts and the practical reality, by presenting the general foundations of their promotion system, according to a research plan based on three chapters. The first presents the nature and characteristics of the promotion of university faculty members. The second is devoted to examining the procedural processing of promotion requests. The third addresses the conditions and requirements for applying for promotion and processing them. The research concludes that the entire legal system for the promotion of university faculty members must be reviewed. It must also adopt an electronic submission system when requesting promotion. It must also reconsider the composition of the Faculty Affairs Committee, encourage publication in university journals, adopt a points system in evaluating research, and create a suitable research environment in Libyan universities.
