The University of Jordan was never an ordinary educational institution; it is the “Mother of Universities” and the home of academic expertise and science in Jordan. However, what it underwent during the presidency of Professor Dr. Nadhir Obeidat constituted a significant milestone in its administrative and financial history.
At a time when financial challenges were pressuring educational institutions, the University of Jordan managed to achieve a remarkable milestone by reaching zero debt—a feat that can only be seen as the product of conscious management and wise financial planning that aligns with governance.
Eradicating debt was not an end in itself but a doorway to redirecting resources towards academic development and infrastructure improvement. During this phase, the university experienced a tangible update in its facilities and enhancement of academic programs, as well as support for scientific research, alongside investments in digital transformation and strengthening the university environment for students and faculty members.
The experience of the University of Jordan under the leadership of Dr. Nadhir Obeidat confirms that genuine reform in higher education begins with wise management, enhancing integrity and transparency, and that universities can overcome crises and achieve financial sustainability without compromising the quality of education or their national role, provided there is vision and leadership.
Today, the University of Jordan stands as a model to be emulated, not only as a prestigious academic institution but as a living example that proper planning, transparency, and responsible leadership are capable of transforming challenges into success stories that are recorded in the nation's history.
