Whatever university has the strongest claim to be the oldest currently existing university probably also counts as the first university, because of the irregularity of the structure of learning institutions in the Classical and pre-Classical era (to the best of our knowledge).
That's a weird argument. So if the University of al-Qarawiyyin stops operating, then some other place becomes the first university?
Generally we consider a university more like a school - with set staff, set students, and a set course of learning
That's more of a modern understanding of what a university is like (and I doubt it is an accurate description of the mosque that Fatima al-Fihri made).
Academy was a place where philosophers and important folk got together to mutually intellectually enrich each other,
A 'community of masters and scholars' one might say, or in latin 'universitas magistrorum et scholarium' which is the origin of the word 'university'. The original point of Universities was the same as that of the Academy. The teaching of students is just a side effect of achieving that goal since teaching is a great way to learn.
What about Plato's Academy? It was an institution of higher learning, and it certainly existed long before the one in the meme. I'm not saying that the Academy was the first one either, it wouldn't surprise me if there were others before hand.
It seems to me like the claim "the oldest currently existing university" got converted to "the first university" and those are definitely not the same.
You won't be getting any money back. While you did ultimately pay since the companies that technically paid just raised their prices, that doesn't matter. You didn't technically pay any taxes, so you have no recourse to get it back. This has all just been a massive gift to companies.
Autoridades de EE. UU. anunciaron que ICE y otras agencias federales estarán en Milán durante el evento. Argumenten que protegerán a los estadounidenses visitantes y le delegación de su país.

Drivers licenses and other IDs are issued by the individual states, which can be issued by the states to anyone they decide to according to state laws. But the federal government (mostly just the TSA which is a part of the DHS) wanted to set a minimum standard for issuing IDs and so if you go through the process of proving you are who you say you are you get a state issued ID with a special star on it that indicates that the US government has 100% verified your identity.
The volcano now is about 400 miles away, in Yellowstone, so there shouldn't be a problem with that. And no, the volcano did not move, the continent did.
In Islam, it is believed that creating images of religious figures is the first step toward idolatry. Islam therefore generally discourages the creation of images of religious figures of any kind.
That's technically false. The prohibition is not on creating images of religious figures, but on creating images of any person.
