chkl, Obviously you are not referring to Dubai Women's.
VS, I am glad you enjoyed the women students so much. Post-Intifada and post-9/11, I did not, not at DWC. They were extremely unfriendly to male Americans. That's why I left. The boys at the Petroleum Institute had more common sense and were more easygoing. Their admissions standards were much higher than HCT's, which helped. |

|
|
I have been in the HCT system for just over a year. Teaching at the local Womens' College has been the BEST job I have ever had - and I say that after teaching since about 1971 in Canada, the USA and Australia.
Teaching polite adults is an EXTREME joy. Yes, they have difficulties/issues, but so do all students.
Like I have said to others in various PMs - No groping nor cursing in the hallways... No drug sales nor useage in campus... polite and mostly willing to learn  |

Yes, a few of my friends - mostly male - said that there was a period of blowback caused by the activities of the US government. That seems to have settled down with time. And I agree that the male students in general do tend to be more laid-back and easier to handle. My experience agrees with that...

| Yes...although the Intifada and 9/11 were not activities of the US government. The period I was referring to was directly after 9/11 and, previously, during the Intifada. |

| Some colleges are 'offloading' staff to CERT. The criteria are not specified, so subjectivity seems to be at play. |

The HCT tends to use the newer Russian model of management. Medvedev would be in his element.
