The American University in Cairo strongly rejects claims by the head of the National Security Agency that the school practices “suspicious” activities and incited the violence on Mohamed Mahmoud Street and at the cabinet sit-in at the end of last year, the university said in a Sunday statement.
The statement added that AUC is an educational institution whose mission has been to serve Egypt for more than 90 years, progressing in scientific and academic research, serving the community and encouraging civic participation, and that the professors, students and alumni are all proud of the school.
