It 's late, I just finished washing the dishes after a dinner of fish in my flat in London when I decide to watch my mail before going to bed. I open "mail", and my account of the London School of Economics and Political Science is a new message. A few lines: "It is with great regret that i announce That the LSE Council has accepted the Resignation of Sir Howard Davies as Director.
The Council has asked HIM to stay on until a successor for Arrangements Have Been resolved ": the school principal has resigned because of scandal for the funds received from Geddafi Saif, son of the famous Colonel, who scored a (questionable) his doctorate at the school in 2006. In 2009, the "Gaddafi International Charity and Development Foundation has donated to the LSE and a half billion pounds for its North Africa Programme.
Although the donation was received in good faith (reads the letter of resignation of the now former president), the school's reputation has suffered greatly. From 22 February, a group of students was working on the Senior Dining Room, asking several times that the money was returned to you.
So far only 300 million have arrived in London on February 28 and already had been decided that these funds would be set aside to sponsor scholarships for students north Africans. But this was not enough: in a country where public spirit is still strong, Sir Howard Davies has decided to resign.
The moment he accepted the donation, when England was still in the cap for the registration fees paid by students, and then when the money was seen as a great source of opportunity to continue to fund its contribution to research ( Yes, in England the figure is still below the letter R in the dictionary), Davies could never predict what would happen two years later in Libya.
Likewise, our beloved prime minister would never have predicted when he kissed his hand to the Colonel, during a meeting for the collaboration between our two countries. But therein lies the difference: while in the hands of our country, the kisser is still found to cover the role of a second charge of the state, despite various scandals in England, a great dean, not guilty of kissing their hands to the colonel, but accepting a cash donation as an opportunity for the future of his school - it is true, clear, not like all those accepted by Italy in the form of "investment", has resigned.
Once again, you notice the differences between our country and overseas to: who is believed to still the bearer of a value called dignity and cares about the institution that governs (be it a school, or government) should have the courage to recognize their mistakes and to leave when these errors undermine the image of the institution: Sir Howard Davies, thanks!
