The University of Zimbabwe pays new part-time teachers just two dollars an hour amid staff protests. Full-time professors walked off campus seeking better wages than their current pay, which is below $250 monthly. School officials sent letters offering three-month jobs paid with gold currency despite laws against replacing workers during legal strikes. Teachers called this move shameful exploitation through poverty wages. The university wants classes back starting Wednesday.

The teachers' union plans demonstrations at Freedom Square because they feel disrespected. They say most replacement staff lack proper education credentials for university-level teaching. Student leaders told classmates that everything appears normal again despite ongoing tensions. Teachers want their salaries raised to $2250 each month before returning to classrooms. The teachers' association said recent campus research events failed because almost nobody participated.
