University professors are the brain of the state

_When the state needs to solve a problem, it resorts to university professors, who understand the mind searching for the solution.
Each country has its own philosophy, approach, strategies, and tools for implementing these strategies. According to this sequence of thought, laws are drawn up and rights and duties are included. It begins by defining the details of each of them and progresses until it ends with the formulation of laws and then their implementation. What is important in all of this is for everyone to understand their meanings and act upon them.
The question is: Who is the mastermind behind all of this? Who sets the components and foundations and then formulates and then implements them?
If we search the corners and hideouts of the nation, we find that university professors are the mastermind behind all of this, according to the considerations from which we can record the following:
1_ In universities, we find that academics and in all scientific and humanitarian disciplines are the elite that the country has produced so that it can rely on them in various fields, each according to his specialty.
2_The elites in the universities elites that produce the workforce that leads the country.
3_The elites in the universities are specialized and carry the wealth of knowledge and skills and the edges of their specializations and what has been achieved in the world. They are the first reference for the state in these specializations.
4_University professors are directly responsible for cognitive and skill growth and development and are good followers of what is happening in the world.
5_ When the state faces any problem that requires a solution, it turns to them to search for solutions to it.
6_Enacting laws that protect the rights of people in society is the prerogative of these elites, and there are many examples on this subject.
7_ Almost no patent is issued publicly unless its owner is a professor working in universities.
8_ Preserving the moral and value system, including humility, honesty, love of the country, respect and love for others, preserving people’s rights, and love of science and scientific growth, we find in them. This discussion could be longBut the question is: How can we build a university work system that bears the character of integration and interacts with its surroundings first and the world second and which helps the nation in solving its problems, both primary and secondary?
For this reason, we must realize the following:
1_A university professor is a person who loves a simple life far from unacceptable exaggeration of luxury and lusts for money and wealth.
2_ The wealth of the university professor is the amount of knowledge, research, and scientific service in his field of specialization.
3_ The university professor does not like to be busy with anything other than his specialty, and producing an original line is much better for him than the stimuli that the rest of the people crave.
4_Providing a decent and simple life for the university professor and not preoccupying him with the trivialities of life helps a lot in developing his abilities and increasing his production.
5_ Opening the way for the university professor to freely present his opinion and his sense of societal immunity helps him greatly in providing advice and opinion for what he realizes and believes and thus achieves societal benefit.
6_ Opening the way for the university professor to grow and advance and not placing barriers that hinder his progress, such as referring him to retirement without his desire or depriving him of local and international integration in conferences that hinder his scientific growth.
7_ His sense of the interaction of those on the first line in the state with him and hearing his opinion and consulting him pushes him more towards positive interaction.
8_The university professor is a supreme social value. Everyone must realize that, and when he feels this value through people’s interaction with him, he feels that his giving is meaningful and certain, and he will not be discouraged or frustrated.
9-The university professor knows very well that he cannot submit to undesirable types of behavior because he is the one who formulates the words that would represent the constants of society and a decent life. For example, but not limited to, when granting one grade to a student when he does not deserve it, this means to him that it is worse than stealing a lot of moneyHow can university professors not be the mastermind of the state?
Congratulations to Iraq for its evacuated universities and professors, and my prayers to those concerned and decision-makers to work to provide university professors with the means for productive work that the country needs, and congratulations to everyone for the new academic year 2023-2024.
