“No American delegation to inspect the university,” Al-Eman University responds [Archives:2006/946/Front Page]

By:Yemen Times Staff
SANA'A, May 14 ) Yemen Times received yesterday a formal letter from Al-Eman University responding to what has been published in the nespaper Thursday's issue. The letter reads as: According to legal right of response, we hope that you publish this remark in the same place where the said article was published. The article's title “Al-Eman University opens doors for inspection,” is untrue; because the university is under control of concerned Yemeni authorities, and no foreign body has the power to inspect Yemeni institutions. The article mentioned that Al-Eman university rector's office manager confirmed the authenticity of press reports that an American delegation will inspect the university. This is also not true. Furthermore, it contradicts the quoted text of the rector's office manager, published in the same article.

We would like to confirm again that there will be no American delegation to inspect the university. As it is clear from the statement contained in your article, it is only the American Ambassador who is invited to visit the university. This visit is in response to directives of the President and it will be through the foreign Ministry.

We confirm that there is nothing to be inspected in the university as it consists only of study premises, a campus for students and teachers, halls of residence and Yemeni and other Muslim students studying in the university with their embassies' consent.
