Diario Libre reports that in the School of Medicine of the state university, UASD, 80% of the professors have been visiting the school just to sign in, but not to give classes. The signing allows them to collect their wages.
The professors are on strike demanding wage increases. The UASD professors are by far the best paid with the best pension plans and other perks among Dominican universities.
The professors have been ordered to sign in but not to teach by the directors of the Federation of Associations of Professors of the Autonomous University of Santo Domingo (Faprouasd). Directors of Faprouasd reportedly are visiting the university to disrupt any classes.
