Disambiguation page
The term Global University Alliance refers to any one of the following organisations:
- The Global University Alliance at http://globalunialliance.com/ - with head office in Birmingham, England - which seems rather coy at listing any of its members or Directors
- The Global Uni Alliance - web site http://www.gua-edu.com (and also http//www.gua.edu) - set up in Penang, Malaysia in 2002
- The Global University Alliance set up in conjunction with NextEd in around 2000 with around 10 member institutions - but it is not year clear whether this still is extant (news article RMIT University, Australia, 2000)
- The Global U8 Consortium (GU8) - web site http://site.inha.ac.kr/xelpa/users/u7/3_10.jsp - which appears to contain several of the original members of the GUA in item 3, such as RMIT and the University of Washington
With regards to the term "Alliance" there are also:
- the University Alliance at http://www.universityalliance.com/info/ for USA, which offers online education through its connections with several American universities.
- the International Association or Research Universities (IARU) at http://www.iaruni.org/about obviously focusing on Research but referred to as "Global University Alliance" in at least 2 news articles on the web.
This issue needs further elucidation.
