Bilkent University- the first private, nonprofit university in Turkey- was founded on October 20, 1984,
by Professor İhsan Doğramacı, M.D., with the fundamental aim of creating a center of excellence in higher education and research.
If it fails in that objective, it is a religious duty to reform it, perhaps even suspend it for a time, so that its purpose comes back into focus and it educates and
enables the ma'ruf and Ihsan.
