The thing i am thinking is, if the matter goes before the courts wouldn't that report get thrown out? Any information that investigator found would be considered illegally gained due to not having work status to conduct that investigation in the country and therefore not allowed to be presented before the courts. Anyone more informed with experience in the legal system can clearify?

That's the American Branch of the news network. Mostly due to low financial gains. Al Jazerra is still going strong

While what munroe said was in bad taste it is protected under freedom of speech

sorry about that, meant to check if it was correct but dashed out.

When funding via subsidiaries was cut the students under the helm of the Student Union raised hell. When fees were increased despite no improvement being to made the campuses students did the same. Both times the government and the College Council acknowledged the fierce lashback and gave no qualms about ignoring them anyway. What else can the students do, refuse to pay for another semester until the problems are properly addressed? Most realize that that will do nothing except prolong their enrollment. The assistant lecturers to Professors in most regards are not bad, hell if COB administration listened to its Accounting professors they wouldn't be in this mess.

As far as resting on their laurels that happens always happens sometimes at no fault of the students themselves. A fair amount of students take their COB bachelors try to find jobs here realize they can't and find one more easily abroad (thus increasing the noticeable and prolific brain drain in the country). A similar amount also take their Bachelors and turn it into Masters at top notch universities (I myself am currently sorting out the final details of my masters program at Sogang University)

The point i am trying to make is that though COB administration is a hot mess the college continues to spread internationally through partnerships with other universities. The students are far from content but they still seize the oppurtunity at a tertiary education within their financial grasp. Christie has already shown stopping that brain drain and educating Bahamians was not on his priority list when the subsidiary was allowed to be cut.

Legitmate question,
She was born her in 67' and immigrated to the US in 75'. So she would have obtained US citizenship after 75. Don't we have a law that disallows dual citizenship? Therefore wouldn't she be automatically ineligible for a passport even with the instantaneous 73' provisions since she became a US citizen

They experimented with this, it was shot down. The reason that was given was that they did not want to pay instructors the same amount of money they would make teaching a regular class for an online class. With a new president it might just be the time to propose this again

Question since i am both ignorant in the ways of unions and slightly interested in working as an ATC. Is joining a Union mandatory if one exists and if you are part of that union if industrial action is voted for and approved is it mandatory to take part
