Graduation scene in the TV series 'Uzak Şehir' sparks crisis at Artuklu University

The university graduation scene that appeared in the latest episode of the popular Kanal D series 'Uzak Şehir' has sparked controversy. The scene in question was filmed in the graduation ceremony hall of Mardin Artuklu University. However, the failure to use the university's logo during the filming and the fact that the university administration was not informed about the filming permit have caused unrest within the institution.

While the name Mardin Artuklu University appeared in the images symbolizing the graduation, the absence of the logo that highlights the university's identity drew attention. Following the backlash, the university's rector, Prof. Dr. İbrahim Özcoşar, posted on the social media platform X and openly voiced his criticism.

CRITICAL POST FROM THE RECTOR TO THE DEANERY

In his message, Rector Özcoşar stated that the scene was filmed without his knowledge or that of the university administration, and he made a pointed reference to the Deanery of the Faculty of Economics and Administrative Sciences. The rector's statement included the remark, "While steps to highlight our university's identity were expected, it is regrettable that our identity was disregarded in the filming."

Regarding these developments, no official statement has been made by the faculty deanery or the university administration so far. The controversy is expected to be addressed in internal correspondence and meetings in the coming days.

As the repercussions of the incident continue, differing opinions on the matter remain a topic of discussion among university students and academic staff.
