He stressed that the evaluation process is intended to enforce quality assurance and ensure strict compliance with academic, financial, administrative, and legal standards, supported by a comprehensive automated database to guide ongoing improvements and through which deficiencies can be addressed according to the highest standards.
The University Rector underscored the significance of the committee’s findings and called for enhanced performance, strict adherence to application and admission protocols for postgraduate programs, in line with existing courses, while simplifying non-essential procedures without compromising the integrity of the SAR system currently in use.
He also encouraged optimal utilization of distinguished staff from the University’s various faculties, ensuring continuous coordination between centers and faculties, and full implementation of the committee’s recommendations through a structured action matrix to be monitored by the assigned evaluation committee.
