CONFLICT IS BREWING between the two offshore medical schools in Barbados.

The three-month-old Washington University of Barbados (WUB) is accusing the American University of Barbados (AUB), which has been operating here for six years, of engaging in a smear campaign against WUB and “stealing” its students.

The AUB has denied the claims and said its sole focus was on enhancing the school’s brand and promoting Barbados.

An upset Gopi Venkat, chief executive officer of WUB, which is located at Casa Grande Hotel, St Philip, said that since a video surfaced three weeks ago of their former dean complaining about certain situations at the school, messages had been circulating on social media bearing the name of an official of the AUB and carrying its logo, saying that WUB was a fake medical school.
