The Chronicle: Dismissal of Islamist Professors in Jordan Alarms Government Opponents
A Jordanian university dismissed 14 Islamist professors last week, many of them affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood, an Islamist group that has harshly criticized the Jordanian government.
The institution, Al-Zarqa Private University, one of the top private universities in the country, declined to renew the scholars’ contracts at the end of the academic year. Many faculty members at the university, which is located in Az Zarqa, an industrial city northeast of Amman, the capital, operate under such contracts.
