Review and Critique of Administrative Proceedings in the Commissions for Investigating Violations of Faculty Members

In this article, we will review and critique the administrative proceedings in the commissions for investigating the violations of the faculty members of universities and higher education institutions of the country. The importance of this research is that due to the high mission of the country's higher education system in training skilled workers for society, it is necessary to maintain their independence of action and political officials cannot influence them. But on the other hand, there are rules and regulations necessary to deal with disciplinary violations by faculty members and to purge incompetent professors. Therefore, litigation is of special importance in the commissions for investigating the violations of faculty members. According to the law on disciplinary regulations of the faculty of universities and higher education and research institutes of the country approved by the Islamic Consultative Assembly in 1364 and its executive regulations approved in 1364, along with the 1384 amendments, the violations of faculty members except faculty members of Azad Islamic University will be considered in the primary and review boards. The imposition of political influence on the liquidation of professors, the lack of regulations on the independence of judges of committees the lack of need for judges dominance on legal issues, the imposition of double punishment, the incompatibility of violations with punishment in some cases and the impossibility of retrial are the main shortcomings of this law.
