Al-Hadba University · Mosul

Seven bands holda leaning tower up.

The minaret our university is named for stood for eight centuries at a lean, because every one of its seven brick bands did its own job. Quality assurance here works the same way: seven layers, each verifiable on its own, each carrying the one above it.
