Kurds plan to host American University
Article Abstract:
Academics leaving violence-ridden Baghdad are moving to Iraq's relatively safe Kurd-controlled northern territory hoping to gain employment in its fast-expanding higher education sector. The Kurdistan Regional Government is hosting an American University funded by U.S. agencies and some Kurdish sources as part of an effort to stem this brain drain, and to utilize the services of the Iraqi academia in the other universities that face a shortage of teachers.
