Spanish university sued for advertising posts in August

The University of La Laguna (ULL) in the Canary Islands is being sued by The Spanish Association for the Advancement of Science and Technology (AACTE) for advertising 80 professorial posts in August when many Spanish citizens are on holiday. The Association argues that the university has acted deliberately to favor the appointment of local candidates. However the university claims to be making use of administrative resources that would otherwise be underused.
