Syria’s new government purged the National University today and fired Dr. Maamoun Kuzbari, former speaker of Parliament and acting National President, from his last job.

Kuzbari was kicked out as professor of civil law. Two weeks ago, he was ousted as the country’s chief executive after two days in office. He had taken over after an army revolt forced his ally, ex-President Adib Shishekly, to flee the country.
