Anglia Ruskin Media Storm - Media Articles
This case shows that universities cannot control the media and social media. Once the victims of their wrongdoing decide to go public, the news can travel across the world fast and generate an avalanche of news and comment which can damage the university reputation (see below a non-exhaustive list of articles).
Many people outside the UK will only ever have heard of Anglia Ruskin University from the news below which claims they offer 'Mickey Mouse' degrees. Is this what Anglia Ruskin want the world to know about them?
Universities cannot control the media, especially the international media, and social media, but they can control whether they will do wrong and cover it up.

A graduate who sued her university over her "Mickey Mouse" degree has received a £60,000 out-of-court settlement. Pok Wong graduated with a first in international business strategy from Anglia Ruskin University in 2013. But she claimed the university "exaggerated the prospects of a career" and sued them for false advertising. A spokesperson for Anglia Ruskin University said the settlement was agreed with their insurer's solicitors, and they did not support it. Pok Wong, also known as Fiona, said claims made in the university's prospectus were untrue. She told the BBC in 2018: "They think we're international students [and] we come here to pay our money for a piece of paper, for the degree. "But actually we care about the quality, we care about how much we could learn. "They exaggerated the prospects of a career studying with them, and also they exaggerate how connected they are."
