At 06:48 on 28 July 2026, Al-Ghadeer TV, the Badr Organization's official media outlet, posted that "the Minister of Higher Education directs university councils to grant 5 marks to address the critical cases of students in non-graduating years." The post carries no commentary and no Badr attribution of credit. No other tracked actor's channel carried it in the retrieved evidence, and no supplied external media reporting covers the directive.
The habitual routing of ministry decisions through a faction's own broadcaster is how a party converts a portfolio into visible patronage before students and their families, ahead of an election cycle.
