I don't think uniport is aware of this arrangement, or maybe someone is using our share to buy a house in Calabasas, if your in uniport you will understand! We don't have classrooms to learn in, we take turns to write exams, our tuition fee right now is just outrageous.So it's one of two things, uniport isn't in the list of schools that Federal Government spends on or someone is using the money to invest in there retirement.
