The university adopts the principle of transparency and removing barriers between administration and students by ensuring student representation in all units, including colleges and academic departments, while taking diversity into account and maintaining communication to address academic, administrative, technical, and social issues.
It also relies on referring to the Student Discipline Law, announcing it, and communicating it to students for guidance and counseling, while emphasizing the importance of information exchange so that students become part of the decisions issued, because they are the core of the educational process.
The university directed the colleges to work according to a methodology for combating financial and administrative corruption in cooperation and coordination with the External Audit Directorate to audit financial documents and expenditures within the granted authorities, with complaint boxes opened in all colleges and at the university presidency.
In addition, awareness and educational activities are carried out to reduce and eliminate the phenomenon of financial corruption.
The University President directed the colleges of Medicine, Nursing, Pharmacy, Dentistry, and Veterinary Medicine to provide their diverse services to the community free of charge, with a focus on awareness activities such as seminars and workshops related to health education.
