The legal system of academic ethics committees in addressing breaches of professional obligations: A case study of university professors between the provisions of Order No. 06-03 and Decision No. 991 dated December 10, 2020

Keywords: Charter; University; Council; Ethics; Profession; Activity.

Abstract

Academic ethics committees act as essential bodies promoting commitment, competence, and scientific integrity in universities. In response, the supervisory ministry has accelerated their establishment across higher education institutions to counter misconduct and protect the academic environment. These committees issue regulatory and supervisory decisions rather than creating new legal entities. Their role functions as a mediating mechanism between appointing authorities and administrative committees, operating similarly to a disciplinary council. This paper examines this structure in detail.
