  37 Due to the lack of senior faculty young researches, sometimes persons
  38 without a Ph.D. or still working on their Ph.D., have been offered
  39 tenured faculty positions with the full responsibility of such
  40 position. <P>
  41
  42 The Committee strongly believes that the current policy will hurt the
  43 future potential of <EM>informatikk</EM> in Norway if it is not
  44 rapidly corrected. Besides finding senior faculty, it may be necessary
  45 to create and fund a special extended leave of absence for young
  46 faculty so that they can concentrate on international level research
  47 and finish they Ph.D. Here, as a rule, a stay at some other Norwegian
  48 University, preferably even at a place outside of Norway, has to be
  49 ensured. Immediate promotion of a Ph.D. graduate to a faculty position
  50 inside of his own University should be an exception if not
  51 disallowed. <P>
