A Kansas education, delivered in Dakar
HAYS, Kan. (KSNW) — A college education from the plains of Kansas is about to become more accessible for students in West Africa—no passport or plane ticket required. Fort Hays State University (FHSU) is launching a new cross-border academic program this fall in partnership with DUNIS Africa. The program will allow Dakar, Senegal students to earn an FHSU degree without leaving their home country. Justice Together offers solutions to help the community It's a change to the program that started in 2017. Previously, students spent two years in Senegal and then moved to Kansas to finish their degrees. Now, they can complete all four years in Senegal, earning a Bachelor's in Business Administration with a focus on International Business and Economics, all in English and aligned with American standards. 'We're creating a world of opportunity for students to thrive together,' Dr. Jeni McRay, Assistant Provost for Internationalization and Strategic Initiatives, said in a news release. DUNIS Africa will instruct the first two years, starting this fall, with Fort Hays State faculty taking over in Fall 2027. 'This new remote-completion option will be transformative for students who cannot relocate to the United States due to financial, family, or visa constraints,' said Amadou Diawara, a current MBA student at FHSU. Diawara began studying at DUNIS in 2017 and moved to Kansas in 2019 to complete his degree. After earning his bachelor's in business in 2020, he completed internships, co-founded two startups, and became a digital strategy consultant for entrepreneurs in Senegal. 'The FHSU-DUNIS partnership has had a profound impact on both my academic and personal journey,' he said in the release. 'It gave me the opportunity to study in a truly international environment that combined academic excellence, personalized support, and cultural exchange.' For Fort Hays State, the program represents more than just international growth. It reflects a broader mission to make American education more accessible, especially for students who might otherwise be left out. 'Our partnership with DUNIS-Africa is Fort Hays State University's mission in action,' said McRay. 'We are making degrees accessible and affordable, allowing students the opportunity to develop as engaged global citizens. When they graduate, they are prepared for real-world challenges and ready to contribute to their local communities.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Could Napoli Receive Shock Points Deduction In Serie A Title Race Vs Inter Milan? Capital Gains Case Rumbles On
Could Napoli Receive Shock Points Deduction In Serie A Title Race Vs Inter Milan? Capital Gains Case Rumbles On Could Napoli Receive Shock Points Deduction In Serie A Title Race Vs Inter Milan? Capital Gains Case Rumbles On Napoli are still at risk of a shock points deduction in the Serie A title race with Inter Milan due to a capital gains investigation. Today's print edition of Turin-based newspaper Tuttosport, via FCInterNews, note that if the case resolves by the end of June, it could play a role in the Serie A table for this season. Advertisement Italian FA Prosecutors are continuing to look into Napoli's transfer dealings. And Tuttosport report that the FA could request the overturning of a trial from three years ago. That concerns some alleged capital gains manipulation by Napoli in player sales and signings. Particularly at issue are the dual transfers of Amadou Diawara and Kostas Manolas with Roma. But above all, there is the Victor Osimhen signing. Napoli paid a huge fee to sign the Nigerian from Lille. However, going the other way were goalkeeper Orestis Karnezis and a slew of less well-known players, valued at €20 million. Napoli Could Receive Shock Points Deduction In Serie A Title Race With Inter Milan NAPLES, ITALY – FEBRUARY 09: Antonio Conte Napoli head coach during the Serie A match between Napoli and Udinese at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona on February 09, 2025 in Naples, Italy. (Photo by) If the Italian FA find new evidence, they could reopen the trial against Napoli. Advertisement Then, if the Partenopei were to be found guilty, there would be a couple possibilities. One would be a fine. But alternatively, there could be a more serious sporting punishment. There would be precedent for the latter option. Juventus received a points deduction during the 2022-23 season, after having been found guilty of capital gains fraud. There is a substantial difference here, though. In the Bianconeri's case, prosecutors demonstrated an ongoing system of fraudulent transfer dealings. That is not the case with Napoli, or at least not to anywhere near the same extent. However, the Osimhen transfer remains potentially problematic on its own. Therefore, nothing is truly off the table. Advertisement As Tuttosport note, if Napoli were to receive a points deduction, then the timing of the verdict would be key. If the verdict were to arrive before the end of June, the points deduction would apply to this season. And that could have grave ramifications. Napoli are currently three points behind defending Champions Inter Milan at the summit of the league table.
