A growing debate is unfolding within a higher education institution in the city of Fez, as concerns have been raised regarding the integrity and transparency of recent academic appointments.
According to informed sources, the appointment of an administrative staff member to an academic position has sparked reservations among various stakeholders within the institution, due to a perceived mismatch between the individual’s prior academic background and the scientific responsibilities now assigned to them.
The same sources report emerging difficulties in the educational process within the department affected by this appointment, as the appointed individual’s limited contribution to teaching and student supervision is raising concerns about the potential impact on the quality of education.
In a related matter, certain administrative procedures concerning academic qualification files and the supervision of research projects have also stirred controversy, with some voices citing a lack of clarity and adherence to established academic standards.
Additional questions have been raised about the management of certain academic activities, including the organization of thesis defenses under conditions that some consider inconsistent with accepted academic norms.
Amid this situation, members of the institution are calling for a review of academic and administrative management procedures, and for the reinforcement of transparency and objectivity to ensure high-quality education and to restore students’ and faculty’s trust in the university environment.
