ABSTRACT: Education can
become another burden on the development unless addresses the internal,
external and natural challenges by Sustainable Universities that provide an
educational, cultural and teaching model through a sustainable development
strategy. This paper tends to illustrate the different challenges of
sustainable development in Iraq coupled with the full ignorance of the concept
and principles of sustainability and suggests a model for a sustainable
university. Although the suggested model is rather complicated, but it is
crucial to encompass the different effects of human resources on the
sustainable development capitals, at and beyond, the university campus.
