Cassation dismissed: University contract without dean's request does not constitute academic appointment under higher education law.

The Supreme Court dismissed the plaintiff's cassation appeal against a labor dispute involving a university professor. The court found that while the rector signed an employment contract, it violated Article 86 of the Higher Education Act because it lacked a dean's request and faculty council opinion required for academic appointments. Consequently, the contract could not transform into an appointment-based employment relationship, and the fixed-term contract did not convert to indefinite under labor law provisions.
