Apparently, <u>[/B]ONE</u> of the students admitted into dentistry has &quot;favourable&quot; ties with the vice-chancellor. Now that the news is all over the place:<br /><br /><a href='http://www.couriermail.com.au/news/queensland/federal-agency-wants-uq-answers/story-e6freoof-1226188199829' target='_blank'>http://www.couriermail.com.au/news/queensl...f-1226188199829</a><br /><br /><a href='http://blogs.abc.net.au/queensland/2011/11/university-of-queensland-reputation-7th-november-2011.html' target='_blank'>http://blogs.abc.net.au/queensland/2011/11...ember-2011.html</a><br /><br /><a href='http://www.abc.net.au/worldtoday/content/2011/s3357732.htm' target='_blank'>http://www.abc.net.au/worldtoday/content/2011/s3357732.htm</a><br /><br /><a href='http://www.abc.net.au/news/2011-11-07/university-plays-down-enrolment-row/3639446?section=qld' target='_blank'>http://www.abc.net.au/news/2011-11-07/univ...446?section=qld</a><br /><br />Let&#39;s have a look at a similar &quot;irregular&quot; student admission incident in Malaysia. Last I checked the MBBS course is still listed on the CUCMS website despite over-enrolling 75 students and I believe the vice-chancellor is still enjoying his role and all the perks that come with it. I&#39;d say Australia has a thing or two to learn from Malaysia when it comes to nepotism <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://static.lowyat.net/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo--> Huskies Education Essentials Tue, 08 Nov 2011 07:54:38 +0800
