Australian universities

It has been brought to my attention that on Sept. 21, 1996, in
the "Your Letters" column, you ran a letter from Kompas which
indicated fraudulent behavior on the part of an individual
claiming to be a representative of Australian schools and
universities. I would like to respond to that letter as follows.

I am grateful that an Indonesian graduate of my university,
Central Queensland University, Australia, brought to my attention
the letter which appeared in your paper. I would like to express
my appreciation to the writer of this letter for drawing public
attention to fraudulent representation of Australian schools and
universities. Most Australian educational institutions list the
names of their legitimate representatives with the Australian
Education Center. People wishing to know more about Central
Queensland University, or any other Australian institution can
find out the names of legitimate representatives in Indonesia,
from the Australian Education Center (tel: 021 522 9675). I also
suggest that any case of suspected fraudulent behavior in
representing Australian education institutions should be brought
to the attention of the Australian Education Center as soon as
possible.
