During a phone call, Issawi commended the efforts of the university’s faculty, administrative staff, and students, describing the achievement as a reflection of the institution’s longstanding commitment to academic and research excellence. He noted that this milestone further cements UJ’s standing among the world’s top universities and underscores the growing reputation of Jordanian higher education on the international stage.
