Astana International University informs that the negative reviews and appeals that appeared on the Threads, 2GIS and other social media platforms are related to a private situation concerning one of the university's students.
Since August 2024, comments containing insults, slanderous statements and information unrelated to the quality of educational services have been systematically published on the university's 2GIS page.
An internal investigation confirmed that the student had not violated academic discipline, and the situation was of an exclusively private nature. During the audit, it was established that the actions of the authors of the publications are a manifestation of harassment, slander and cyberbullying against the specified student.
The AIU and the student himself have sent official appeals to law enforcement agencies to clarify the circumstances, as well as to protect the student from cyberbullying and spreading false information.
Astana International University adheres to the principles of openness, respect and academic ethics. The University condemns all forms of cyberbullying and the dissemination of false information, including the use of personal data and accounts of third parties, and calls on users of online platforms to comply with standards of responsibility and respect for the privacy of others.
