It also sought to examine whether there are statistically significant differences in the degree of the university’s practice attributable to the variables of years of experience and academic specialization. In addition, the study aimed to explore ways to activate the role of Al-Asmariya Islamic University in fulfilling sustainable development requirements from the viewpoints of faculty members.

The study sample consisted of (121) faculty members. To achieve the objectives of the study, the descriptive research method was employed due to its suitability for the nature of the study. The results revealed that the level of the University of Tripoli’s practice in meeting sustainable development requirements was low across all dimensions of sustainable development from the perspective of faculty members.
