The Academic Council of the American Islamic University (AMISUN) is the highest academic authority entrusted with guiding, supervising, and safeguarding the intellectual and educational mission of the University. Its principal duty is to ensure that AMISUN remains an institution of faith-based excellence—where revelation and reason coexist to advance human development and divine knowledge.
The Council is composed of senior academic leaders representing the various pillars of the University’s operations. Its structure ensures broad representation from multiple disciplines and perspectives within the Islamic and global academic community.
The Academic Council oversees all academic matters essential to the University’s mission. Its responsibilities include, but are not limited to:
The Academic Council convenes formally at least four times a year, with special sessions as required. Meetings are conducted under Islamic principles of consultation (shūrā), transparency, and accountability. Every major academic reform—such as the introduction of a new degree program or changes in university-wide regulations—must pass through the Council’s review and vote.
To facilitate its work, the Council forms specialized sub-committees in the areas of:
Each sub-committee is chaired by a senior academic and reports its findings and recommendations to the Council during scheduled meetings. This structure enables both depth of review and agility in decision-making.
The Council envisions AMISUN as a global hub of ethical scholarship—producing graduates and research that strengthen societies through compassion, justice, and knowledge. Its role is not only administrative but also visionary, bridging the sacred and the scientific to serve humanity’s collective progress.
Through continuous dialogue and reflective scholarship, the Academic Council ensures that AMISUN remains a university for all—where learning is worship, and every discovery is a step toward understanding the Creator’s signs in the universe.
