Al-Quds University ((アラビア語:جامعة القدس)) is a Palestinian university with campuses in Jerusalem, Abu Dis, and al-Bireh. It was founded in 1984 , but its official constitution was written in 1993 when Mohammed Nusseibeh, its first Chancellor and Chancellor of the College of Science and Technology, announced its formation. ==Overview== The idea of establishing an institution of higher learning in the outskirts of Jerusalem was conceived early in 1957, when a Board of Trustees was formed in Kuwait. The Board elected an Executive Committee entrusted with bringing the project into being. The Committee entrusted Rouhi al-Khatib, the Mayor of East Jerusalem, with the task of assisting the Executive Committee in its endeavors and to initiate construction work, which actually began in 1965. Work on the site was interrupted by the outbreak of the 1967 Arab-Israeli war. Nevertheless, a sizable section of the buildings on the campus was completed later and utilized as a primary and secondary school, servicing basically Palestinian orphans. In October 1979, the College of Science was established, but was forced to close down by Israeli military order, and was reopened in October 1981, as a College of Science and Technology. Its founding constituent colleges included the colleges of Science and Technology, Paramedical Sciences, Arts and Religious Studies. Its School of Medicine, associated with the city's Maqasid hospital, was the first college to be founded directly under the banner of Al-Quds in 1993, and is the first Palestinian medical school. Al-Quds is governed by a Board of Trustees. The founding board was headed by Mohammed Nusseibeh and included Grand Mufti of Jerusalem Sheikh Ikrema Sabri, Adnan al-Husayni, Saeb Erekat, and others as members. The first president, Hatem Husseini was followed by the current acting president, Sari Nusseibeh. The University provides higher education and community services within the Jerusalem area and to the neighboring towns, villages and refugee camps in the West Bank. It has ten academic faculties on four campuses: Arts, Science and Technology, Medicine, Dentistry, Public Health, Law, Qur'an and Islamic Studies, Health Professions, Engineering, and Jurisprudence. These faculties accommodate more than six thousand students from the Jerusalem area and from the districts of Bethlehem, Hebron, Jenin, Jericho, Nablus, Ramallah, Tulkarem, and Qalqilia. The University maintains two Jerusalem campuses and administrative offices in the American Colony and in Beit Hanina. Since the Second Intifada many classes have been moved to Abu Dis. Other campuses operate in al-Bireh next to Ramallah and Tubas. On October 1, 2003 a campaign was launched protesting the planned route of the Israel separation barrier, which was to have cut through the university campus. Israel changed the route of the barrier after pressure from the United States and meetings with the university’s lawyers.〔(Jerusalem Quarterly ) Jerusalem Chronology (October–January 2004)〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Al-Quds University」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
