Only about 25% of the current PhD cohorts are UAE nationals and Provost Hume has made it clear that our own university WILL NOT hire these UAE Nationals back as faculty members. So, one wonders how spending millions of dollars on the PhD program will help increase the percentage of UAE national faculty members? (75% of the millions spent on the PhD program would help train students who would most-likely work leave UAE!)

That’s why I’m working while doing my PhD, I don’t want to find myself an overqualified unemployed UAE national 3 years from now!
