الحريات الأكاديمية في الجامعات الأردنية : دراسة في القانون الدولي و التشريعات الناظمة لكل من الجامعة الأردنية و جامعة اليرموك و جامعة مؤتة

Abstract EN

This research deals with the academic freedoms in the light of international law and the national legislations that regulate the higher education in Jordan، particularly in three state universities: Jordan University، Mutah University, and Al-Yarmouk University.

The assurance and respect of the academic in the higher education institutions is to be considered in fact, a very important issue since it constitutes a vital and important pillar for these institutions to reach their message, mission, and consequentially achieve its goals and objectives.

If we do not guarantee these freedoms which are considered an integral part of human rights, our universities cannot succeed, since the mission of the universities in general is not graduating only technicians, but before that, it is to contribute positively and efficiently to increase the cultural level of our nation.

Universities as we all know are the main center for culture, science and civilization, and the assurance and guarantee of the academic freedoms inside these institutions is very important for them.

Despite the fact that, there are numerous legislations relating to higher education and scientific research in the whole Arab world and in Jordan in particular, but these legislations do not cover and organize this important topic.

As a result of this and because of the importance of this issue we have decided to divided it into two sections: Section one deals with the concept of academic freedoms, its historical development and its relation with human rights.

Section two addresses the situation of academic freedoms in the Arab Universities in general and the Jordanian Universities in particular.
