DHAMAR, March 6 — Although their numbers have dwindled, students are still protesting at Dhamar University, demanding the resignation of the school’s chancellor, Dr. Ahmed Al-Hadrani.
Protests began on Monday to draw attention to Al-Hadrani’s alleged issuing of hundreds of false university certificates accredited by Dhamar University from an unaccredited office in Jeddah in a presumable scheme to earn money.
“The Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research knows what’s happening inside the university but attempts to cover it up,” said Fathi Al-Haddad, a leader of the Student Union at Dhamar University.
Al-Haddad presented copies of official documents sent by the chancellor to the Foreign Affairs Ministry and Yemen’s embassy in Saudi Arabia to assign a representative for the university in Jeddah. The representative was caught later in Jeddah and accused of forging 700 university certificates.
