Omar Morsy posted on his Facebook profile, saying, "I applied for the job tests knowing I would be attacked, and I would face rumors and lies, the way they faced my father and my family since he took office." Anti-Morsy figures had criticized the president's son, accusing him of getting a job worth LE35,000 to LE40,000 per month, despite not being a skilled graduate.

Demonstrators who held master's degrees and PhDs demonstrated in front of the Freedom and Justice Party headquarters Sunday over Omar Morsy's appointment for the post.
