Be a shame if anything happened to its accreditation...
Three months [after awarding an honorary degree to the Dalai Lama], the University of Calgary [in Canada] was dropped from the Chinese Ministry of Education’s accreditation list of universities for Chinese students desiring to study abroad, the Calgary Herald newspaper reported on Thursday.
The Hotline for Overseas Studies Service Center in Beijing had the following advice for Chinese students: “If you don’t already go to that school, it is better not to go because you will face risks.”[...]
About 600 students from China and Hong Kong are enrolled at the University of Calgary. [About 2.5 % of the student body -- The Foreigner]. On average, tuition for foreign students is three times higher than for local students.
Which has absolutely nothing to do with Taiwan. Except for the fact that the Chinese Nationalist Party government has previously stated it wishes to "flood" Taiwanese universities with students from China --rendering Taiwanese higher education prone to similar political domination. Not over the Dalai Lama -- the Communist Party collaborationists within the KMT will make sure THAT one never steps foot in Taiwan again. More likely over curricula or the presence of China sceptics within the halls of academe.
Set a course for the Borg tractor beam, Number One.
Full speed ahead.
