Was this compound for women only or was it mixed?

And were the "Muslim ladies" you speak of raised as Muslims, or were they "reverts"? I don't know why, but I suspect it may be the latter...

There is a bit of a hyperacademic, overly moral feel about most of the female teachers at PMU. Most of the PMU teachers are at the new compound that most have heard about (three bedroom villas, blah blah blah). There is a mix of male and female non-Muslims, reverts, and born Muslims.

As I understand it, the teachers were told from the beginning that their new compound would be considered a Western compound. There are indications that might not be entirely true.

A bit of additional information. If you are planning on applying to PMU, do it quickly while they still have money. Recently, they cut the department chairs' salaries by a third, and some teachers have yet to receive this last month's salary.

Interesting to stumble on this thread now. Back in January I received an e-mail from the Director of HR at PMU asking me if I was still interested in teaching there. (I had enquired some months previously but had heard nothing.) I said I was taking a year off but would keep them in mind. My reasoning is that if THEY are approaching ME, rather than vice versa, they must be desperate! Laughing
