How many people think that it is irresponsible of CHE to allow AUBIH to advertise for new faculty when they have been deleting and editing posts about this asylum for years?  When does their responsibility to their readers supersede their drive for revenues?

As I just posted on the Spooky and Strange thread, this is the sort of thing that will get you banned, preventing you from ever making the points you wish to make.

Work within the boundaries of the system.

Perhaps when an outsider with no real vested interest gets involved? At least I got some Mods to reply. And I have not yet been banned.
I'm a bit of a dog with bone just at present, and I have my reasons, don't I? I was incarcerated in an even worse academic institution, and I still carry the scars. I am vastly less confident, afraid of both students and administration, though I am now administration, and subject to bouts of what seem to be PTSD, for no earthly reason. I am well treated here at Current University, my mate and Kids have been wonderful. And I can't talk about this other place I was because I have relatives in that country.
It is personal with me, and not because I ever worked AUBiH or I am a vindictive person by nature looking for a fight.
The former employees seem to raise some very significant issues.
 I have been promoted Foreign Teachers Department head here, much against my own will, and so I have a duty to make sure that Professors are happy. They are, mostly. Our University functions smoothly. We have had no painful firings or angry departures.
If you look into the history of AUBiH, that has clearly not been the case. The President stated in an article in CHE that he has hired a number of professors who were "alcoholic's with forged credentials." he also said that he "sent them back after three months."
That would be before the end of the term, no? I can't say I've never suggested that someone seek other employment before the end of term, or that I have ever been deceived by fake credentials. Not that this has happened.
It just seems to me to be a very toxic place, and I want warnings against it to exist.

I can't believe nobody has mentioned California University of Bosnia & Hercegovina yet!
