I don't know how the Provost can look at himself in the shaving mirror each morning - no wait - he has a beard.

The article contains some inaccuracies but the bottom line is that the teachers who were transferred have been treated abominably. Although UGRU is recruiting 30, 35 or 50 teachers (depending who you like to believe) anyone accepting these posts needs to be aware that it could be a non-renewable contract and that they could be transferred to work at an HCT campus. And HCT is not to everyone's taste. I know quite a few people who have worked at both UAEU and HCT and they tend to prefer UAEU.

which explains why uaeuniversitywatch.net is now in existence.

That website is in existence because a mentally unstable former employee was fired for cause, and is unable to move on with his life.

Very unfortunate.

That may be true, I have no idea, but what IS very true is that mental impairment is not restricted to teachers in the Gulf.

There's a lot of it about at management level too, especially at UAEU.

Moreover, the fact that the site has a LOT of supporters would seem to indicate the truth of its assertions.

A lot of supporters? Seriously?

The site consists of Mr. Unstable and a variety of sock puppets which he uses to post to himself.
