    J. Stetar, O. Panych and B. Cheng - Center for International Higher Education

    In spring 2004 interviews were conducted with 43 rectors, vice rectors, and administrators at five private universities. A consensus emerged that successful licensing or accreditation applications, with few exceptions, required some form of bribery.
