Haykakan Zhamanak: Salaries reduced at Engineering University despite
tuition hike
10:55 - 04.10.13
The salaries at the Yerevan State Engineering University have been
significantly reduced despite the decision to raise the tuition fees
starting from this academic year, the paper has learned.
An associate professor, who earlier received 130,000 Drams ($320), now
gets a monthly salary of 80,000 Drams (approx. $200); a professor's
salary has been reduced to 100,000 Drams (approx. $250) from the
previous 180,000 ($444), the paper says, citing a faculty member.
Those without a scientific title will from now have to satisfy
themselves to 30,000 Drams (approx. $75), instead of the previous
80,000-90,000 Drams (approx. $200-$220), adds the paper.
It says further that the changes are linked to new procedures of
calculating wages. But no one at the university was reportedly
available for comment.
The paper notes that the annual tuition fees at the university
increased to 12%-17% this year, reaching 402,000-522,000 Dram (approx.
$1,000-$1,300).
