Leadership Supports Unified Trustee Standards
The Senate Chamber approved the draft amendment to the Jordanian Universities Law for 2026 and recommended adopting standardized criteria for selecting presidents and members of university boards of trustees based on competence, experience, and integrity. The recommendation also included establishing annual performance evaluation indicators for the boards. Additionally, they called for a comprehensive national assessment three years after the law's implementation to measure the impact of the amendments on the quality of higher education. The composition of the boards of trustees was also modified, increasing the number of members from 8 to 10, with the number of experienced members in public universities rising from 3 to 4, and adding a representative from the industry and trade sector. For private universities, the number of academic members was raised from two to three, and the representation of the industry and trade sector was increased to two members, all aimed at improving governance and aligning education with the requirements of the labor market.
