April
\nNote:<\/strong> The letters<\/strong> from Neil Sookoo (school director) to Dr. Spilchuk that comprised the April, 2013 column\u00a0have been removed. <\/strong>Mr. Sookoo erroneously claimed to have collected money from Guangzhou Nanhu m8bet online sports betting through third-party mediation in China. In fact, there was no settlement and the school did not pay any funds to this individual. Mr. Sookoo did, however, pay funds to the school for what he terms “payment for the medical insurance policy,” while the school classifies his payment as a penalty for early termination of contract. ISR regrets this error.<\/p>\n
