Controversy

Recruitment practices and nepotism at the University have recently come under attack. According to the Chronicle of Higher Education ["All in the Famiglia" by Francis X. Rocca [http://chronicle.com The Chronicle Review] . Volume 54, Issue 6, Page B14 ] "six professors have been placed under house arrest pending investigations of hiring practices" and extensive nepotism and been observed in the Faculty of Economics.

The Rome newspaper Il Messaggero in a series of stories [for example, [http://www.miur.it/DefaultDesktop.aspx?doc=3784 April, 2007] ] published that Bari is "an encyclopedia of what can happen, should not happen, yet does happen at Italian universities."
