A criminal gang has assassinated the dean of the athletics college, Dr Walhan Hameed al-Rubaii. The higher education ministry has condemned the killing and asked the government to provide security and protection for teaching staff, and act against those who target them. The ministry warned that if the violence against academics continues, it would adversely affect higher education's contribution to the building of a new Iraq.
