Leonel no seas tan lambon y baboso que das asco carajo.

Really struggling for news today!!

Now maybe President Martelly can reciprocate by donating some toilets and desks to UASD!

Lie-onel Fernandez has stabbed his Alma mater in the back!

While Lie-onel uses our tax money to make himself look like a big altruistic statesman, Professor Castor calls for the closing of the UASD.

Ok, the DR donated money, but there are too many unanswered questions? What is this all about? Why is a poor country like the DR who although slightly better off, yet still needy, donates funds worth US$50 million as only part of a humanitarian package? Secondly, now that a structure has been built, who is going to pay for books, tuition, fees, staff, upkeep, maintenance and misc. What degrees will be offered? This reminds me of the methodology used by the Fdz govt, they love to attend ribbon cuttings when new schools are inaugurated while existing ones are left neglected and in a deplorable state.

I mean, I am happy and great to see the DR help Haiti, but are the students being prepared to what is relevant to the nation's needs. Otherwise we can easily end up with 10,000+ students who have worthless degrees. I hope this is not another public relations tactic for who knows what ulterior political motive. I would be leery of the "naked man who offers you his shirt."

josean can be the dean

You bring up good points Guille, but, like everything else that involves fernandez it would be swept under the carpet..

Leonel might be planing an invasion on dominican soil in about 4yrs when they graduate, he is going to be a civilian soon and this is part of his plan.

I'd like to see fernadez cut that ribbon then slip, fall and tangle himself with it until he blacks out

This is shameful. There are scores of DOMINICAN schools in horrible condition yet this president decides to spend the Dominican people's money on educating foreigners...on their soil. Fernandez, you're a bum and a failure. History will not be kind to you. Clean up your own back yard before worrying about your neighbor you complete and utter fool.

@josean-"Now maybe President Martelly can reciprocate by donating some toilets and desks to UASD!"

No....Haiti will instead reciprocrate and send a team of medical doctors and nurses as their mission to improve health conditions in third world countries in addition to a large influx of documented sugar case cutters with residency to help increase next season's harvest.

{"It costed around US$50 million."}

It "COSTED"??......The past tense of "cost" is cost.....Not "costed"

Perhaps some DT reporters can benefit from an intensive course in English grammar at this new university?!..Eh?

Professor Castro: "Da pena y vergüenza que la universidad más vieja de América esté todavía en un nivel de reforma tan precaria y absurda."

mr martelly says thank you president leonel fernandez for the new university , now can you rebuild our country and take 4 million of my haitians to your country ? pleaseeeeeee???

well said cibao!

, library [documentation center very modern], meeting rooms, computer , accountants and scientists labs, academic facilities, administrative and recreational.

He recalled that this new campus will be part of the network of state universities of Haiti and the project was currently in the tendering process to select construction companies.

The new University will be completed the January 12, 2012


On July 31, 2010 President Leonel Fernández and his counterpart René Préval, had taken part in the inaugural ceremony of the building work of the campus of the University of Haiti (UNEDUPHA) [baptized at the time - Université Henri Christophe du Nord].

Less than 5 months later, President Leonel Fernández yesterday unveiled to the press, in the Hall of Ambassadors in the National Palace, the model of the new university campus. Dominican President announced that the University will be completed and delivered the 12 January 2012. A project of $30 million, fully financed by the Dominican Republic and Dominican business sector to be conducted under the coordination of the architect Milka Garrett.

President Fernández said that the campus will be built in the north of Haiti, near Cap-Haitien, will accommodate 10,000 students per day. It will consist of several three-story buildings, 72 classrooms of 30 students, library

Guys, Fernandez' gambit is that being a good neighbor will bring much more economic gains for the DR in Haiti's reconstruction plans. While the Europeans and US are moving most nations in the Caribbean, Central America and South America towards market solutions to their economic problems, Haiti will continue to receive strong foreign government support in its efforts to modernize and develop. DR stands to make much hay from those investment flows into Haiti.

Leonel is doing great positioning himself to be a truly international leader. Mediating conflicts in the region, going beyond our borders to help our neighbors while securing more investments in the DR. Excellent.

Leonel has no sense in him, our schools are falling apart, our roads are impassable in some parts of the country and all he cares about is looking good in the eyes of the international community. Como dice la cancion de Juan Luis Guerra, Donde estan los hombres buenos? Donde se Ven? Well guess what they are a specie that went extinct in DR...

Yes, Leonel is positioning himself for himself..................
You are absolutely correct TNT, I mean TTT
Just don't blow up will you........OK !!!!

cibaeno you are correct. I have seen tons of schools with that need upgrades in DR. Also, 4 hour classes is not enough

Mr fought hard for this contract to built this university but the bid for the road reconstruction this money has been sitting around by looking at his big smile he kept half of that money

cachetero......

I meant Leo but lost the bid or contract to build the road in different part of the country that went to a Japanese company this money did not come from the Dominican government

Liarnel- Padre del lambonismo!

Nobody has noticed that the haitians named the university:
"The Le Roi Henri Christophe University"
Least they could have done is not named the university after a controversial figure like Henri Christophe, who was a blood thirsty megalomaniac.
They could have named the university to do tribute to a Dominican patriot like "Juan Pablo Duarte", or even a Dominican-Haitian philanthropist and oncology pioneer, Dr. Heriberto Pieter.

Where are all the Haitian apologists now??? Yoohoo!! Where are you??!!! I think I just a tumbleweed roll by!!! All this generosity for a bunch of malagradecidos that waste no time in smearing the DR against the international community!!!

So true. A non controversial figure should have been honored.

Here is a Blast from the Past in honor of Lie-onel Fernadez frivolously giving away $50,000,000 million dollars of the Dominican taxpayer’s hard earned money like it was his!


One of Jorge’s finest hours; he sounds like josean!

President Fernandez, please stop the stealing


Juan Bosch. It's time to stop the pillage, live up to his ethics.

I could be arrested for writing this and even worse, I might have to resign from Dominican Today, and my family harassed.

But I’ve reached my limit as a journalist, a Dominican, and as the father of my children, whose future can’t be sequels of this frustration and chaos.

President Fernandez’s Government has stolen my trust in him and his party. His Administration has stolen my dream of a country where you can plan, dream and trust in the government to do the right thing.

Continued:

President Fernandez’s Government has stolen my trust in his ability to fend off the legions of thieves who, in the guise of collaborators and party affiliates, steal my money and that of the millions of taxpayers.

But I will not let President Fernandez’s Government steal my dignity by continuing to coexist with this pent-up outrage.

Enough Mr. President, stop the stealing now.

Josean he does this because he has money to burn , and the Imf is always around the corner for help . It is almost insulting the intelligence of dominican citizens when he pulls crap like this .

Atabey
To add insult to injury Michèle Bennett Duvalier, First Lady of Haiti from 1980 to 1986, was Christophe's great-great-great-granddaughter.

The old road 'camino real' or 'camino touristico' from Grand Parada to Gurabo/Santiago, serves as supply route for a lot of the produce that is consumed in Puerto Plata and provides the livelyhood for a lot of families completely apart from any 'tourism'. It is in horrible condition and continues to get worse perhaps that is not part of Lionel's bailiff, but then again is Haiti?
