The Telematic University Pegaso The University has officially taken a position regarding the investigation launched by the Naples prosecutor's office, involving approximately 40 people under investigation for irregularities in enrollment in professional training courses. In a statement released today, the University clarified that it has independently initiated an internal audit aimed at protecting academic quality and institutional integrity.
The audit uncovered isolated cases dating back several years, involving a limited number of former employees and students, some of whom allegedly provided false statements. Pegaso emphasizes that it considers itself an injured party in the proceedings and has already removed the employees involved following internal investigations and disciplinary proceedings.
The statement also highlights that the University has been the victim of cyber attacks in the past, which were reported to the competent authorities, and that, over time, advanced technologies have been adopted to prevent student misconduct. Pegaso reaffirms its commitment to fully cooperating with the judicial authorities and the Ministry, guaranteeing transparency and willingness to support ongoing investigations.
I read the news and understand the University's commitment, but the communication seems confusing: it says the cases are isolated and from years ago, but doesn't fully explain how it happened, and the investigations seemed incomplete, some former employees made conflicting statements, and IT security seemed weak. Let's hope the prosecutor's office clarifies the situation and that the university cooperates without hesitation.
