Problem

University administration and Ministry of Education officials driving university restructuring spend 5–8 hours per week manually monitoring merger-related sentiment across faculty councils, student associations, alumni groups, and regional media. Failure to detect opposition sentiment early frequently delays merger timelines by 6 months to 1 year.

Solution

Real-time crawling of news, social media, and online communities based on university names and merger keywords, combined with sentiment analysis (for/against/neutral) dashboard and early-warning issue alerts — enabling decision-makers to track public opinion in real time and formulate response strategies.
