AKP Spokesperson Ömer Çelik said that the government's decision to reopen Istanbul Bilgi University, which was previously closed, was evaluated within the framework of the "public interest" principle and taken accordingly. In a statement relayed by Cumhuriyet, Çelik summarized the rationale for the decision in this manner.
Istanbul Bilgi University is recognized as one of Turkey's established private higher education institutions. The decision to reopen the university has brought political and legal discussions surrounding its closure back to the fore.
Opposition parties and academic circles criticized the decision, arguing that it lacked transparency and bypassed judicial processes. Meanwhile, Çelik's statement left unanswered questions about the legal basis of the process and the university's new management structure. The matter continues to remain on the higher education policy agenda.
