DISTRIBUTING FAKE DIPLOMAS FOR HIGH FEES
After the university was exposed as fake, the protocol was unilaterally terminated by the former Rector of Dumlupinar University, Prof. Dr. Kazim Uysal. During this period, numerous students were enrolled in imaginary programs claimed to be under the International Dublin University, without exams, without points, and without conditions, for high fees. Bachelor's, master's, and doctoral diplomas were also distributed. The Fake University appointed fake jury members and awarded numerous doctorate titles with fake thesis defenses.
