Abstract

 
Scientific promotion is a crucial right for university faculty to advance to a higher scientific rank. It is not only a right but also an administrative duty to promote university service employees (Any employee who practices university teaching, scientific research, scientific and technical consultation, or work in the office of the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research or its institutions who meets the conditions of a faculty member) who meet the necessary legal conditions. Numerous legislations regulate scientific promotions, including laws, instructions, and decisions by the dissolved Revolutionary Command Council. These scattered regulations have led to misapplication and varied interpretations, some aligning with the instructions while others contradict them, imposing impractical conditions. The research's importance stems from the insufficient clarity in legislation regarding promotion mechanisms and conditions, resulting in administrative interpretations/jurisprudences that potentially waste rights due to inconsistent application. The research method involves interpreting legal texts regulating university service employees' right to scientific promotion, aligning with legislative goals and practical requirements, and comparing them with supporting or contradicting administrative directives. The research concludes that scientific promotion instructions apply to university service employees meeting the conditions for advancement to the next scientific rank. We determine that scientific promotion has specific legal and instructional conditions that must be observed to obtain a deserved scientific rank, and that administrative directives contradicting these instructions should be canceled.
