(This is now 2 years ago. Case was thrown out in January 2019 for lack of any evidence. Here is the record of my PhD. It was all madness.
University governance is still thoroughly politicized and ignores students needs. All academics in #PNG with experience working in world-class universities have left, academic quality improvements have stopped, internet at UNITECH has collapsed, and crisis is tangibly upon these universities.
University management and Council were all appointed by Peter O'Neill.)

Albert
Schram, the former vice-chancellor of Papua New Guinea’s second largest
university, has warned that the country’s higher education system will
face crisis unless corruption is rooted out and threats against foreign
academics cease.
Dr Schram was
speaking from Singapore, where he landed on Sunday. The PNG authorities
allowed him leave the country after arresting him and confiscating his
passport earlier this month.
Dr Schram,
whose leadership of the PNG University of Technology is praised by
Australian academics who follow the country, was controversially ousted
as vice-chancellor in February after being accused of not verifying his
PhD credentials, even though his 1994 doctorate from the European
University Institute in Italy has been thoroughly verified.
