25 July 2023 “After being referred to the disciplinary council for demanding her husband\u2019s release, the Higher Technological Institute adjourns Manar Al-Tantawy\u2019s disciplinary hearing to August 8”
\n<\/b><\/span><\/p>\nOn July 25, the Disciplinary Council of the Teaching Staff at the Higher Technological Institute in the 10th of Ramadan City decided to adjourn the disciplinary hearing of Manar Al-Tantawy, the head of the mechanical engineering department at the institute, to August 8 hearing; to give Al-Tanawy\u2019s defense a chance to view the documents that the institute\u2019s administration submitted.<\/p>\n
Al-Tanawy was referred to the Disciplinary Council as a form of arbitrariness practiced against her after conflicts that lasted a year between her and the institute\u2019s dean over Al-Tantawy\u2019s eligibility to return to her official and legal position as head of the mechanical engineering department at the institute, which she temporarily apologized for it due to a health problem she went through. After that, the institute\u2019s dean refused her request to restore her position for political reasons, namely, being the wife of detained journalist Hisham Gaafar. The Administrative Court settled these conflicts in Al-Tantawy\u2019s favor as the Court ruled that Al-Tanawy should return to her official position.<\/p>\n

The disciplinary council later punished Al-Tantawy with a 15 days deduction from her salary. AFTE appealed the council\u2019s decision, and the board set September 20 to investigate the appeal.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nThis reflects a series of arbitrary actions against Al-Tantawy, especially after the Administrative Judiciary Court did justice to her by annulling the Higher Technological Institute\u2019s negative decision by refraining from granting Al-Tantawy a professorship despite fulfilling all the technical and procedural conditions for political reasons.<\/span><\/p>\nThe events date back to when Al-Tantawy asked for her legal right to chair the Mechanical Engineering Department and the consequent material and moral rights as the most senior assistant professor within the department.
