The government is taking a hard look at the future of the Malaysia University of Science and Technology (MUST), a post-graduate university whose enrolment has dwindled.

The university is operating with about 10 students left.

A source close to the university said at its peak, there was an average of 20 students in each of the seven programmes offered: information technology, biotechnology, transportation and logistics, materials science and engineering, construction engineering and management, system engineering and management, and energy and environment. The research ties with MIT have by and large been discontinued.

Does it is a joke? This is tertiary level of education!

What if the University needs to shut down, what is the impact to the previous graduated students!?

I have friends graduated from MUST, does is sounds fair to them? What I concern is what happen to those obtained their degree from this university. Will it become a piece of paper only?
