THE REGULATIONS ON THE ACADEMIC ETHICS AND DEONTOLOGY. A PLUS OR A SURPLUS BROUGHT BY THE NEW HIGHER EDUCATION LAW?

The new higher education law no. 199/2023 sought to regulate the issue of university ethics and deontology in a unitary manner in order to avoid recourse to the provisions of different regulations regarding members of the academic community. Unlike the previous law, which did not carefully refer to this area, understanding that it should be supplemented with the provisions of L. no. 206/ 2004 there are also some aspects that require additional clarification and interpretation to determine the applicable law, even if it seems that the legislator aimed for all aspects related to the activity carried out in higher education institutions to be regulated by this new normative act.
