Dr. Al-Hourani on university law draft
The article discussed the statements of the Chairman of the Board of Trustees of Amman Al-Ahliyya University regarding the need to initiate a "white revolution" in the higher education system, which requires legislative reforms focused on outcomes and results to meet the needs of the labor market. He confirmed that the proposed amended Jordanian Universities Law for 2026 does not sufficiently address the link between education and market requirements, as it lacks clear mechanisms to hold universities accountable for graduate employment or the quality of their outputs. He criticized the condition that requires the university president to hold the rank of full professor for at least five years, considering it restrictive for attracting capable leadership with administrative competence and executive experience. He emphasized that today's universities require selection criteria related to efficiency and management to support innovation and financial sustainability.
