“The latest events have revealed the plan of the illegal leadership of the Dante Alighieri University for Foreigners. The evolution of facts is revealing who really wanted to sell off the University to the telematic university market. Here is who, since its establishment, has worked sordidly to deliver the glorious Dante Alighieri University into the hands of those who see a university only as a gold mine”. This is what the mayor of Reggio Calabria stated in a note Giuseppe Falcomatà talking about the story of the Dante Alighieri University for Foreigners.
“The Municipality of Reggio Calabria – continues Falcomatà – the Metropolitan City, the Chamber of Commerce and the Reggio Committee of the Dante Alighieri Society, have refused to stand by and watch this sale. In our capacity as founding members of the University and promoting Consortium, we have invited and warned the current governance to desist from adopting illegitimate acts that would involve the university externally or expose it to economic and judicial consequences. The member public bodies have taken action to renew the bodies of the promoting Consortium, the only entity entitled to determine the fate of the University, which, however, has not been able to operate for years due to its occupation by representatives of a association not entitled to be part of it. Finally, therefore, the Consortium has designated its representatives, who are ready to take office, within the University Board of Directors and has activated the institutional channels with the Calabria Region, the Ministry of the University and the Dante Alighieri Society of Rome, the most important institution of promoting the Italian language and culture in the world, to make the University for Foreigners see the light”.
“In recent months, silently sWe worked to restore dignity and legality to an institution that has lost it in recent yearswithout caring about the insults of those who accused us of working for the sale of the University for Foreigners or against the creation of synergies with the Mediterranean University. Instead, it is precisely the current governance, despite having inconvenienced the Magnificent Rector of the Mediterranean, who worked to find legitimate solutions to help Dante Alighieri, has denied that path, attributing the cause of the delays to him, without understanding the complexity of the regulatory framework within which we move”.
“He will be installed in the next few weeks the legitimate Board of Directors who will have the task of remedying the faults caused, initiating any judicial action, in civil and criminal matters, to restore the legality and honorability of the Dante Alighieri University for Foreigners, working for its relaunch and the creation of synergies that allow it to survive without the need to sell it off and transform it into a branch of an online university”.
