According to the Channel News Asia and other news outlets, an 11-member steering committee discussed financing and governance of the university. Planning for the curriculum has already begun. Backers of the project envision a 600-acre institution near excavated ruins of the ancient university, but some archaeologists told The Times of India that the new construction should be located farther away, to avoid disturbing any unexcavated ruins of the old university. —Lawrence Biemiller Posted on Saturday July 14, 2007 | Permalink |
