University protests threaten workers' livelihoods
The article discusses a broad controversy surrounding the proposed amendments to the Jordanian Universities Law of 2026, particularly concerning Article 21, which regulates the sources from which incentives for employees at public universities are calculated. Although the modifications aim to modernize higher education legislation and strengthen governance, there are significant concerns among academics and administrators that changes in the incentive calculation method could negatively impact their income—especially at universities that heavily rely on these revenues, such as Yarmouk University. Staff fear that this could lead to unprecedented protests, particularly if the implementation mechanisms are unclear and do not ensure their financial stability. Authorities believe that the amendments are not intended to reduce basic salaries but rather to change how incentives are calculated. However, anxiety remains, as the daily income of hundreds of workers who depend on these incentives for their livelihood could be affected.
