Dr. Antoine Charbel spoke about the achievements of the Lebanese University, especially at the level of the recent global rankings and praised the cooperation that existed between Minister Halabi and the Lebanese University.
President Bassam Badran recalled the beginning of his presidency, which coincided with the general strike in government institutions, COVID-19 pandemic, the collapse of the financial situation and the salaries of professors and employees, as well as the absence of the University Council due to the non-appointment of authentic deans and a rightful demand movement calling for the approval of the full-time file and securing job stability for employees.
Minister Halabi delivered an unscripted speech in which he thanked the Lebanese University and its loyal people for the recognition, pointing out that even if he leaves his position, he will remain a supporter of the university.
