The costs for the university are shared by Germany and Turkey. Turkey is taking care of the costs of the buildings. From 2009-2020 around 28 Million Euro were invested from Germany by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research.[2]

In 2016, six academics were dismissed,[3] including two faulty deans.[4] As a reaction to the critique stated by academics from Germany, the rector Halil Akkanat stated that academics from Germany only wanted to talk Turkey down.[5]
