    Misconduct

    The university seems to run quasi-scam policies with the immigration to hold foreign students’ money when possible. I started an administrative inquiry against them. The Chancellor of Justice and the Higher Education Authority have now decided about it, 3 years later with a good lawyer’s assistance. This may need to be brought to the European court and international press. The staff at the international office is amateurish and has literally no maturity or basic preparation for their jobs, so far appearing to be corrupt. This includes rectors

    The answer did not mention tackling the scheme inside the Swedish government through the administrative inquiry. Therefore I advise not to apply. They’ll use every subterfuge in their apparatus to keep the tuition fee if you’re prevented from taking the course. Their system is orchestrated to steal the tuition fee. As it is operating now, it’s basically a trap behind the façade of an international university

    This will damage Sweden’s reputation

    I’m starting now to contact the BBC, Deutsche Welle and the European Court. The material will include Linnaeus University, Migrationsverket, Higher Education Authority and the Swedish State

    Migrationsverket agents treat you as an animal. I feared for my safety. Their misconduct almost got me banned from Schengen

    Now a realistic picture in contrast with the website. Swedish students do not merge with foreigners. It’s an unwritten law. There is an invisible but impenetrable wall between locals and foreigners. A stark money-driven attitude tends to overwhelm whatever otherwise innate empathy
    In Vaxsjö people get drunk on a regular basis and drive under the influence, you hear cars with super loud music spreading chaos everyday as you try to study, giving the city a Black American neighbourhood feeling. People call the police out of some imaginary suspicion due to panic, get scared by a neighbour, police start canvassing and one can easily get involved in something by mistake, due to the general situation, limiting one’s mobility and free enjoyment of public spaces. I ended up keeping shop receipts as alibis

    That’s the atmosphere. Not at all like the pictures on the website. Loneliness is brought to a unique level in Sweden. It’s a test of psychological strength

    The website is misleading and full of compromising errors, which I partially corrected

    UKÄ took 2 years to recognize the university’s error and took no relevant measure. Which means in practice the university is not regulated by the authority. They can do whatever they want to international students. It is not easy to regulate, corruption being so ingrained in their characters. They lie in official statements

    It is outrageous, but fraud is being established as protocol and a mere procedure within Swedish institutions

    But it was an important step. Now they’re not untouchable anymore. Justitiekanslern decided it was the university’s error. A refund was ordered, after 3.5 years. This proved the university is not trustworthy

    Now they are attempting fraud again with the same sort of bureaucratic mechanisms which are difficult to defend because they have the upper hand and they are clearly guided by a malicious intent, i.e. a so called organi-cultural deviance

    My advice. Well.. it’s up to you to decide. I can say that it hasn’t been pleasant to deal with such kind of miserly characters for years. Individuals who are capable of acting low in order to take people’s money. Individuals with such malicious view of life, where policies and rationales are used to manipulate and satisfy numbers and corporate objectives and humans have no value as such. It is disgusting and disillusioning. I can’t tell if I am stronger or sadder now. I’d prefer to not have applied in the first place. It’s such an irrelevant struggle, but it’s a duty. I was naïve.. I used to respect universities and education professionals, even with a certain solemnity. To learn what a university can become under market ideology. And how low and unscrupulous people can get. And that there is nothing left of an educational ideal. It is depressing, indeed

    I strongly advise not to apply

    At least I am glad I’m not like them. And maybe this is an important thing
    It includes collusion with the Swedish Imigration Agency to misappropriate applicants from their tuition fees when they are prevented from taking the course

    There is a bureaucratic aparatus orchestrated for this purpose. They call it a mitigation of reimbursements
    It appears that the Swedish State, through a collusion of Migrationsverket and Linnéuniversitet (possibly other universities), has set an administrative apparatus based on organi-cultural deviance, which allows the effect of mistreatment and pecuniary damage to foreign fee paying students
    This process in practice uses the university as bait and after the payment the university will use its apparatus to use such tuition fees as profit
    It appears that a strong culture of manipulation of the bureaucratic framework and of taking advantage of office, seems at present to be established within the Swedish State in relation to the aforementioned institutions

    This behaviour seems to be an official type of fraud. A fraud which is shielded by abuse of office. It is a type of abuse and misconduct which leaves the victim with limited or scarce means of defence if any at all, since all acts will be justified as law abiding, even wben it is clear that a misappropriation is being carried out and the justifucation defies common sense and logics

    This is made possible because tge staff has the upper hand on the use of the rules. This way, rules tgat are not applicable in the context will be forcibly applied with no possibility of fulfilment of the requirements for refund

    This is complemented by an utter administrative incompetence where even the wording of rules is not proper
    I caused tge correction of the rules through the regulatory authorities
    Also the victims are usually not in Sweden and are strongly disheartened to search for justice

    I know this seems a very serious accusation. However I have two processes with the regulatory institutions in Sweden and I am starting a process of gross misconduct
