UFRJ gives 18-professor committee 90 days to propose how teaching posts are allocated
The Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ) has installed a committee, Cotav, to assess its units' requests for teaching posts and propose how the posts should be allocated.
Why it matters: UFRJ academic units that have requested teaching posts will have their requests assessed by the new committee before an allocation proposal is presented.
UFRJ said it has installed a committee known as Cotav to analyse how teaching posts are distributed across the university.
According to UFRJ, the committee is made up of 18 professors.
UFRJ said Cotav will have 90 days to assess the requests submitted by its units and present a proposal for allocating the posts.
