In the first day of the beginning of the new academic year,
the president Prof Dr Maged el Kemary meets with the new students in the
Faculties of Medicine and Dentistry in the presence of staff members within
many meetings between the president, vices of president and deans with students
in different faculties to introduce students about university, nature of
university life, study system, programs of students' activities and of
developing skills and services as well as correcting misconceptions among some
students.
In the beginning, he congratulates students for the new
academic year and announces that after two revolutions, it is no longer
acceptable to gag mouths and freedom of opinion is guaranteed for everyone
under laws and university regulations so as not to lead to chaos. As well, he
mentions that he would not be allowed to organize students' families on the
basis of religion or party inside university as the students will not be busy
with partisan differences and conflicts at the expense of learning, but the
university is not a place to publicize for parties and university mission is
education and scientific research. Otherwise, university is not battlefield,
but it is orchard where mind blooms and an environment for thinking,
innovation, creativity and substantive dialogue. Finally, he announces that the
entry of politics inside Egyptian universities is one of reasons for the
decline of performance inside university and delayed its classification and
staff member should be independent until he can adjust among students and does
not affect the performance of his/her duties.
We have to differentiate between the belonging of student to
political party or intellectual party and the practice of an activity inside
university on behalf of this party.
(Do not go out on the values of the university, whether
verbally or logos or disable study or sabotage installations or writing
offensive phrases on the walls of the university).
