YEREVAN. – Several Yerevan State University (YSU) lecturers are complaining that their salaries are low, Zhoghovurd daily writes.

“One of them informed that the salaries of lecturers at other [state-run] universities are much higher than at YSU.   

Why is the main university ‘poor?’ Responding to this question, YSU Rector Aram Simonyan informed: ‘We raised the salaries a year ago. And if everything goes well, we will raise [them] again as of January 1.’

In his words, ‘going well’ would depend on how many students they will have and how they will collect the tuition fees. Until then, however, many lecturers could resort to drastic measures,” Zhoghovurd writes.
