Abstract :

   Analysis and understanding of conflict of interest in the policy and structure of higher education of the Islamic Republic of Iran with the focus on the Ministry of Science, Research and Technology as one of the 19 ministries of the Iranian government and responsible for integrating administrative affairs, policy, science, research and technology Is possible. The Ministry of Science, Research and Technology, as a super-organization, has diverse departments in the field of decision-making and implementation, which include situations of conflict of interest. In the present descriptive-analytical research and in response to the foundations of conflict of interest in the structure of higher education in the Islamic Republic of Iran, it is hypothesized that conflict of interest in the field of higher education in Iran is often the result of rules and regulations that govern university members and faculty. The results and findings of the present study emphasize that conflicts of interest in the field of higher education can reduce the quality of education, create all kinds of scientific frauds and make issues such as money and income superior to knowledge.
