While King’s Speech Wasn’t Yet Quieted, the Storm Over the Dismissal of Moulay Ismail University President in Meknes — Coming Barely Days After the Firing of Ibn Tufail University President in Kenitra — Special insiders speaking to Fes News revealed that those decisions were merely the beginning of a sweeping series of shake‑ups expected to shake the apex of leadership at several other Moroccan universities.
According to the same source, lists have already been placed on the desk of Minister of Higher Education, Mr. Azzedine El Midaoui, naming university presidents, deans, and senior officials. These documents include detailed reports of “serious financial and administrative irregularities” and “collusion in corruption cases” that now threaten the integrity of Moroccan university degrees.
The source confirmed that the forthcoming wave of dismissals—which is expected to be activated in the coming weeks—is part of an unprecedented “purge” campaign led by Minister Midaoui. Its objective: to put an end to years of mismanagement and abuse of influence within academic campuses. He added that “the ministry has received clearance from higher authorities to enforce the principle of accountability, without hesitation or favoritism toward any party.”
Leaked information indicates that investigations conducted by the Ministry’s General Inspectorate, along with reports from the Court of Auditors, have exposed deep-rooted patronage networks within universities. These networks are implicated in tampering with master’s and doctoral exam results, suspicious hiring practices, and public contracts mired in corruption allegations.
Should these revelations prove accurate, they would constitute a veritable “administrative earthquake”—redefining the map of accountability in the higher education sector and putting an end to the reign of certain figures who have wielded influence in this system for many years. It appears that the dismissals of the presidents of the Kenitra and Meknes universities were not the tip of the iceberg, but rather the beginning of the thaw revealing a darker reality than previously imagined.
