Eye opener

The story about the struggle of the American University of Integrated Sciences (AUIS) is an eye opener that deserves attention on more than one level.

The main question is of course – why is the ministry so difficult about all this?

AUIS managing director Milo Pinckney says he has the answer: ‘incentives’ that disappear in the pockets of government officials with competitor AUC in the background.

He has solicited an investigation under the American Foreign Corrupt Practices Act against DeVry, the owner of AUC.

It is unclear if and when such an investigation will get underway but the sole fact that Pinckney took this initiative strongly suggests that all is not well in the world of foreign medical schools and at the department of education.
