Abstract: 

The purpose of the article is to analyze the problems emerging from the new system of local recruitment for university professors. The work is divided into four parts: the first briefly examines the previous system of local recruitment introduced by the Berlinguer-Zecchino reform of 1999 and identifies the problems that such reform has caused to the university system; the second part analyzes the legislative framework introduced by the Gelmini reform of 2010; the third part discusses the main rulings that administrative courts have adopted in recent years on local recruitments; finally, the article puts forward some proposals aimed at untying the main problematic issues concerning recruitment. It argues, in particular, in favor of returning to a national competition for the recruitment of university professors.
