Al-Balqa University clarifies incident at Jerash College graduation
Al-Balqa Applied University has decided to cancel the graduation ceremony for Ajloun University College students, which was scheduled to take place on August 11, 2026, at the Municipal Stadium venue. This decision was due to the escalation of chaos and uncontrolled crowding caused by a large number of uninvited attendees exceeding the permitted quotas, with some refusing to leave the site. The situation resulted in damage to the entrance gate, violations of property and equipment, and an assault on a faculty member attempting to organize the attendance, making it impossible for security to regain control. The university has canceled the event to ensure the safety of all attendees, citing exceptional circumstances that prevented the venue from accommodating the crowd. It pointed out that previous events held at the same location did not experience such issues. The university reaffirmed that responsibility for the events lies with those who caused the chaos and disruptions. It is continuing to document the incidents and emphasizes that the decision to cancel was made to protect everyone’s safety.
