The Jerusalem Post has uncovered disturbing news about a prominent university in Ukraine, the Interregional Academy for Personnel Management, known by its Russian acronym MAUP:

Besides his friendship with figures such as (David) Duke, (MAUP President) Schokin and his school are said to maintain close ties to a number of Muslim countries, particularly Saudi Arabia and Iran. According to some press reports, a substantial portion of the school's funding comes from these two countries, as well as a number of public groups in the Arab world.

University officials would not confirm these reports, but said the school did have good ties with the Arab world.
