- Current Employee, more than 5 years★★★★★
Pros
Good salary. Collegial atmosphere. Housing provided, amounting to about a $30,000/per year in-kind payment.
Cons
The university administration announces a set course - in any direction - and then promptly changes course, oftentimes without announcement. It's hard to determine whether this is because the administration itself is feckless or because the Ministry of Higher Education jerks the admin around. But the admin at its sister institution, the University of Sharjah, pushes back against the ministry. The admin at the American University of Sharjah apparently does not. What this leads to is a reluctance on the part of faculty members and lower level administrators to engage in any long-term planning or program development.
