From the article:
A long history of generous government-funded study abroad scholarship policies, dating back to the very early years of the modern Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, testifies to the commitment of Saudi rulers when it comes to supporting the development of higher education as an essential factor in the human, social and economic progress of the country.  
 
Their vision of higher education has always been one of reconciling progress and modernity with traditional values and their current discussions on opening the way to foreign branch campuses should be viewed as part of that careful approach.
