Supreme Court dismisses appeal allowing termination of tenured associate professor due to lack of habilitation within nine years.

The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by an associate professor against her termination from a tenured position. The court found that the university's termination, based on her failure to obtain a doctorate habilitated within nine years, was lawful and did not violate general clauses of the Labor Code. The decision emphasized that the statutory rotation system aims to ensure academic autonomy and prevent the indefinite employment of those unable to demonstrate independent research capabilities.
