Saudi alleges university favors expats
(MENAFN- Arab News) A Saudi student here claims that her former university favors expatriates as lecturers in its Arabic department.
The female graduate of the university about 190 km northwest of Riyadh said that the institution refused to appoint her even though she graduated with an "excellent" assessment grade and First Class Honors.
The graduate said she always dreamed of becoming an Arabic language lecturer. She said she traveled 150 km a day to get her qualification from the institution. The transport costs had used up her entire university government allowance she said.
She said she was surprised when her application was refused and suggested that cronyism was involved in the appointment process.
"I was accepted as a freelance professor. They said the Arabic-language department did not need professors. However they appointed a person from an Arab country" she said.
She also claimed that the institution has employed lecturers in the kindergarten special education and Islamic studies departments but was not creating jobs for Saudis in the Arabic department.
