Melanie and Harrigan Expelled, Last Moment Accounts of Their Departure

Both James Harrigan, former AUIS dean of students, and Melanie Standish, former head of International Programs and Exchanges office were expelled by the AUI-S administration in the summer.

Melanie, who was described by some students as "incapable and useless" was very sad when she left AUI-S.

"I don't know why they have expelled me. I was good for the students," she told some of the students before her departure.

James Harrigan, known for his anger and "rude" treatment with the students, also departed AUI-S without any prior notice.

"He just came and gave us a flag to sign it. We asked him the reason for this sudden departure, but he had no answer," said an AUI-S officer.

AUIS students hope that these changes help the university get back some order and discipline.
