The method of study was exploratory mixed method and data collection tools in the qualitative part was semi-structured interview and in the quantitative part, a researcher-made questionnaire. The statistical population for the qualitative section included the president, vice chancellors and staff managers of the university (as an expert group) who were selected by targeted sampling method (12 people). In the quantitative part of the research, 350 faculty members and university students were selected through relative stratified sampling.
