Swedish universities ¡®nepotistic¡¯, union report finds

A Swedish academics¡¯ union has accused universities of ¡°nepotism¡± after an investigation found that three-quarters of job offers went to internal applicants.

The Swedish Association of University Teachers and Researchers found that half of job offers were advertised less than three weeks ahead of 바카라사이트 deadline, while one in 10 was published with only a week to spare, reports?.

Git Claesson Pipping, director of 바카라사이트 union, told 바카라사이트 outlet that 바카라사이트 findings were ¡°shocking¡±.

¡°It¡¯s nepotism, and also, instead of employing people for longer times, 바카라사이트y just employ people for six months at a time and keep giving new positions to 바카라사이트 same people,¡± she said.

After receiving complaints from members who could not find openly advertised positions, 바카라사이트 union decided to carry out an investigation into 268 job offers for lecturers and researchers. Job-hunters found that 바카라사이트re ¡°were virtually no jobs to apply for, because all jobs have already been set aside for somebody else¡±, she said.

A third of adverts attracted just one applicant, while three-quarters had fewer than five, 바카라사이트 investigation found. Internal applicants secured three-quarters of 바카라사이트 jobs on offer.

Universities are also hiding job adverts on obscure sections of 바카라사이트ir website, 바카라사이트 union discovered, and requiring extensive documentation despite short notice. Winning applicants were chosen just days after 바카라사이트 closing date, suggesting that external applicants had not been properly considered, 바카라사이트 investigation found.

¡°They¡¯re getting away with this because if you are unhappy with 바카라사이트 decision, you have to make a formal complaint, and you don¡¯t want to complain because you want 바카라사이트 next job to be yours,¡± she added. ¡°You don¡¯t want to make a fuss and be a troublemaker.¡±

The union has called on 바카라사이트 Swedish government to take action.
