Mevlana University Mevlana Üniversitesi Type Private university Active 2009 (2009)–23 July 2016 (2016-07-23) Location Selçuklu , Konya , Turkey Website www.mevlana.edu.tr

**Mevlana University** ([Turkish](/source/Turkish_language): *Mevlana Üniversitesi*) was a private (foundation) university located in [Selçuklu](/source/Sel%C3%A7uklu), a metropolitan district of [Konya](/source/Konya), Turkey.

The university was founded in 2009 and takes its name from [Mevlânâ Celâleddîn-i Rûmî](/source/Rumi).[1][2][3] In July 2016, 196 faculty members, 3,784 undergraduate, 349 master, and 36 Ph.D. students were actively continuing their education at the university. On 23 July 2016, in the course of the [2016 Turkish purges](/source/2016_Turkish_purges), the university was closed by the Turkish government due to its alleged ties with the [Gülen movement](/source/G%C3%BClen_movement).[4] [Scholars at Risk](/source/Scholars_at_Risk) has expressed concern at these mass closures, saying that they have a chilling effect on academic freedom, undermine democratic society, and may represent a grave threat to higher education in Turkey.[5]

On 2 August 2016, Mevlana University's rights were transferred to [Selçuk University](/source/Sel%C3%A7uk_University).[6] Students from the Faculty of Education were transferred to [Necmettin Erbakan University](https://tr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Necmettin_Erbakan_%C3%9Cniversitesi). All other students were transferred to Selçuk University.[7]
