Dean decries non-payment of salaries to law professors
The Dean of the Louis Arthur Grimes School of Law at the University of Liberia, Dr Jallah A Barbu, has decried the lack of salary payment and wages of professors at the institution for more than a year plus by the Government of Liberia, writes Lincoln G Peters for New Dawn.Barbu lamented the lack of salary for law professors during a brief remark at the Liberian National Bar Association programme on Friday 8 December in Ganta City, Nimba County. Barbu said for approximately one year plus, some professors at the law school have been teaching and impacting knowledge without being paid salaries by the government and the university. According to him, despite not being paid, these professors in the midst of such challenges, execute their duties with integrity and effectiveness, saying they should be extolled and congratulated for that.
“Let me inform you that most of our professors at the Louis Arthur Grimes School of Law at the University of Liberia have not been paid for more than a year,” said Barbu. “Yet, they are making the sacrifice. This is not an easy thing to do and so I want you all to kindly join me and congratulate and thank them for the job they are doing and the immense sacrifices they are making.”
