The Euran University scandal resulted from an investigative series in 1695 published by The Parap National Journal from journalist Maria Evangelista, a longtime veteran correspondent - since fired or forced to resign from Newsflash - alleging, among others, that her story was killed by editorial pressure on directives from corporate management.

Allegations

Evangelista's original, and exhaustively-documented story (since published as a 3-part series in the Parap National Journal), provides the following shocking allegations:

  • 1. Beginning 1694, Euran University students were being hired en masse for undisclosed, nonspecific, but well-paid corporate external relations internships
  • 2. Nationals of Nouvelle Alexandrie who were foreign exchange students were particularly highly prized and proportionally, if not significantly better compensated
  • 3. These interns were being used as a bargaining chip and negotiating tactic of a yet-unnamed corporation (but confirmed and strenuously pointed out that this was not the ESB Group or Kerularios & Company) for particularly lucrative contracts.

Testimony

The series includes a confession by a certain Samantha X, a sophomore at Euran University studying Art History, who claimed that as a condition for her scholarship, she was required to participate in the aforesaid internship program, where she was detailed to accompany a certain corporate executive on a museum tour in Aqaba, followed by an interview to assess her mastery of the subject matter. Samantha later alleged that the private interview was to take place in a suite at the Waterfall Hotel in the Radiant Sun Plaza. She was later surprised to learn that the interview was to take place in a ballroom, and she was further surprised to see fellow schoolmates present. After dinner, while alcohol was liberally served, the interview turned out to be not about art history at all. Samantha X refused to detail what took place, but the first indications of a scandal were a surprisingly large number of pregnancies of Euran University students, even beyond normal campus trends, with no particular common denominator. Fortunately, the Petropolis Development Corporation, as part of its corporate social responsibility, had previously and very generously supported the construction of an expanded Euran University Medical Center, free of charge to the University.

A certain Chad Johnson, a junior studying physiotherapy at the Dr Cryptsinger School of Public Medicine, further claims that these internships were offered to men and LGBT members, as well.

Reactions

Kerularios & Company, controlling shareholder of Newsflash, denied impropriety, claiming that editorial policy at Newsflash was independent from corporate management, and upheld by contract.

Waterfall Hotel management denied any illegal activity, claiming that, "The Luna Ballroom was lawfully booked for a private event, and no illegal activity took place. We respect the privacy of our patrons."

Petropolis Development Corporation, through its Media Relations Office, declared that, "Petropolis Development Corporation has always had a keen sense in identifying emerging social needs and proactively addressing them, which is the value that we add to the Petropolis construction megaproject. We are glad that the use of the donated Euran University Medical Center has now been justified. At Petropolis, we see your needs, and act on it!"
