Allegations of serious mismangement and abuse of process have surfaced at the University of the South Pacific.
They emerged after documents were leaked to the magazine Islands Business, which published them late last week.
They suggest at least eleven staff were questionably appointed by the former vice chancellor, Rajesh Chandra, against official advice.
The editor of Islands Business, Samisoni Pareti, says it also raises questions about the deferment of payments to Professor Chandra.
