Profesorii universitari reclamă anomalii în noua grilă de salarizare. „Nu păstrează ierarhia firească”

The new salary grid proposed in the 2026 salary law for higher education has sparked discontent among university staff due to salary hierarchy issues. Critics point out that in some experience brackets, assistant professors earn more than lecturers, despite the latter holding a higher academic position. The salary system is based on coefficients multiplied by a reference value, which raises concerns about the fairness of the grid. Additionally, promotions from lecturer to associate professor do not result in significant salary increases, leading to further dissatisfaction. The final draft of the salary law was published on July 17, 2026, with consultations scheduled for July 20, 2026.
