Professors at Damascus University blackmail, harass students for good grades

[NPASYRIA] After her repeated failure in an economic subject in a faculty in the University of Damascus, Ala Wahba (a pseudonym), a third-year university student, decided to ask the professor for help and meet him in his office.

"I was surprised for his rude frankness when he asked me for a physical relationship in exchange for passing the subject," Wahba told North Press.

His request had a psychological effect on Wahba, and despite her multiple appeals for a passing grade, still failed the subject.

Many professors at the University of Damascus resort to "harassment, bribes, and sometimes mediation" to pass students.

On June 8, Damascus University revoked the doctoral degree of a professor in the Agricultural Engineering Faculty, which she had been granted six years ago, after it was discovered that she had stolen her research thesis.

"The reality of granting doctorate certificates in Syrian universities today is faced by many negative aspects, chief among them that the new professors do not have a second language; neither English nor French," a professor of Tishreen University, who preferred to be unidentified, said.
