The Vilnius Regional Court addressed the CC. He asks to investigate whether the provision of the Vilnius University Statute that “professors and researchers (artists) over 65 years of age can work at the University if the Senate approves the conclusion of a fixed-term employment contract with them for a period no more than 3 years ”is not in conflict with the Constitution.

The Statute also establishes that said agreement can be extended once by decision of the Senate.

The Vilnius Regional Court noted that the possibility of teaching at the VU for the elderly is related only to the age of 65, regardless of whether the indicated age has a significant impact on their professional skills and due to that age the employee cannot continue winery office.

This court is hearing a termination case against VU. The former chief investigator went to court claiming that he had been fired for age discrimination. Request that the order of the Rector of Vilnius University of July 5, 2018 be declared illegal and returned to work.
