Saudi Arabia is celebrating its national day (Wednesday) by inaugurating a new research university. The multibillion-dollar project honors King Abdullah, who has put the coeducational university at the center of his effort to reform Saudi Arabia's educational system. The king hopes to make KAUST, as the university is known, a world-class center of scientific excellence. Some of his subjects think the campus could become a target for hardline clerics who insist on strict gender segregation in the Islamic kingdom.
