Today's dismissals were made in one-on-one meetings between workers and immediate supervisors.

Appointments and dismissals are made by the President at the Chancellor's recommendation.

After investigating this claim, the Ministry came to the conclusion that the dismissal was made without just cause and recommended payment to the employee.

This led to charges that those dismissals were made on political grounds.

The dismissals are being made at all levels at the agency.

The dismissal was made on common-law rules, against agreements of indefinite duration.

Involuntary dismissal can also be made by order of the judge when no defendant has made a motion to dismiss.

The first dismissals could be made in about 60 days, university officials said.

But dismissals can be made for 'any economic, technical and organisational reason'.

There had been little real effort to impose a change before the dismissals were made.
