The Head of the Office of the Representative of the Supreme Leader at the University of Kurdistan stated, "Insight and resistance constitute the primary software for the formation, consolidation, and continuity of the Islamic Revolution, and universities play a pivotal role in strengthening these two fundamental components."
Head of Supreme Leader's Representation Office: Universities Must Be Flagbearers of Insight and Resistance
According to the Public Relations Office of the University of Kurdistan, Hojjatoleslam-val-Moslemin Abedin Rostami spoke at the explanatory meeting series titled "University, Insight, and Resistance," held on Monday, January 5th (Dey 15), to commemorate Insight and Resistance Week. Organized by the Basij Professors Organization and the Reflection Office, the event honored the martyrs of the Islamic Revolution, particularly Martyr Haj Qassem Soleimani. Rostami remarked, "To navigate crises on the path to community building, Islamic state-building, and civilization building, the Islamic society requires the two essential pillars of insight and resistance."
Referring to the nature of the hegemonic system in the contemporary world, he added, "The prevailing global order does not tolerate revolutionary movements and seeks to consolidate its hegemony through tools such as international organizations. The Islamic Revolution of Iran was formed by challenging this unjust order."
He described the "system of compromise" as a complement to the hegemonic system, asserting, "Borrowed security and dependency prevent the formation of true national independence, and without sustainable security, economic development is impossible."
Emphasizing the role of academics, Hojjatoleslam Rostami said, "The 'Jihad of Clarification' and increasing insight against internal enemies are the most important duties of professors and academic elites, as the enemy, upon infiltration, makes no distinction between ethnicity, religion, or political affiliation."
Missed Managerial Opportunities Are More Critical Than Achievements
In another part of the session, Dr. Adel Si-o-seh-mordeh, President of the University of Kurdistan, stated, "We must look at both what has been done and what has not been done; accepting the share of managers in existing problems and engaging in responsible dialogue is essential to compensate for backwardness."
Stressing the need for a critical view of performance, he emphasized addressing "undone tasks" alongside achievements, considering missed managerial opportunities more significant than current successes.
Dr. Si-o-seh-mordeh pointed to recent conflicts and the people's resilience, highlighting the society's insight and support while criticizing the managerial weakness in capitalizing on this social opportunity.
He further provided examples in energy management, noting high energy consumption in the country and its economic impact on households, stating, "Managerial inefficiency in this sector puts direct pressure on the people."
Comparing the country's water resource capacity with some regional nations, the University President emphasized neglected capacities in natural resource management and called for a reform in managerial perspectives to better utilize these resources.
