The main reason behind Dr Albert Schram's termination is Academic Credential. The Papua New Guinea University of Technology Council ( https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1719234091472961&id=100001591617361) in their final verdict claim that Dr Albert Schram’s PhD Certificate design/ format and logo is differ from the two different PhD certificate copies before the University Council Members and discrepancies in CV.

Dr Albert Schram have requested the European University Institute (EUI) to send two original PhD certificate copies. One was send to Papua New Guinea University of Technology camp while other one was send to Cairn home –Australia.

He then submitted the original certificate to the Papua New Guinea University  of Technology Registrar and the Registrar should have presented the document before the University Council but mislead the Council Members.Merely the Registrar fail to produce the PhD certificate which Dr Albert Schram handed over to him.

Dr Albert Schram said his PhD degree thesis is on EUI website (http://cadmud.eui.eui//handle/1814/5972).

He further claim that on 13th January 2015, the Papua New Guinea University of Technology renewal his contract base on the PhD certificate produced.

The public is confuse as to who to believe because University Council and Dr Albert Schram have dissimilar views on his Academic Credential.

If Dr Albert Schram’s PhD certificate was fake; why did the pervious Papua New Guinea University of Technology Council fail initially in recruitment exercise?  Or, Why did the University Council renewal his contract in 2015?

He claim that his overseas travel budget is approved by Council and he was only accessing the funds to do business travel. He further said he never lie.
