With the extension of the mandate solved the gordian knot of the Councils of UNIVERSITIES

Extended for about a year and a half the term of office of the Councils of all HIGHER education institutions, as well as supposed to make elections directly because…
by the end of May had been completed and the term of office.
As well the Councils of the UNIVERSITIES remain between “limbo”, with the government not want the institution, but you can’t and to abolish, it was decided the extension of their term of office until 31 August 2017.
AEI was sent yesterday, Monday, the following update: “With the number. 87053/Z1/30.5.2016 decision of the deputy minister of Education who has been sent to the National Printing house for the edition of official GAZETTE, the term of office of the Councils, Foundation of the universities shall be extended until 31.8.2017”.
And that’s because he had not yet decided how the elections will be held for the members of the new Councils as their term of office expired.
