[edit] History
The idea of establishing Al-Manar University of Tripoli (MUT) dates to 1985, when the late Prime Minister Mr.Rashid Karami, together with the educator Mr.Muhieddin Makkouk and a selected group of leading citizens of Tripoli, decided to launch a project to meet the educational concerns of North Lebanon. In 1966, they formally established "Al-Manar Society", a non-profit organization dedicated to providing quality education to students of North Lebanon and other regions of the Arab World. After the assassination of Mr. Rashid Karami, Prime Minister Omar Karami assumed the Chairmanship of "Al-Manar Society", and formed the first University Board of Trustees in 1990. The Board was chaired Omar Karami and 18 other prominent members from Lebanon and the Arab World.
