USPGATE: PAL AHLUWALIA refused to extend the Deputy VC Paunga's contract last Friday. 'He's doing a STALIN purge at USP of those who dare question him'. Paunga is the brother of the Tongan Prime Minister

​*Meanwhile, the nomination for a USP Council Chair closed last week and there's a desire to appoint one who can put Ahluwalia in his place. The previous one (now President of Marshall Island) was too weak and was allegedly consistently influenced by Ahluwalia
