After speaking with other colleagues, the message was pass them or deal with a bowl of crap.
I left a week later.
How does that make you feel about the next up and coming superpower in our world.

What kind of university were you teaching at?
From what I heard from my relatives and friends in Asia, Asian univeristies are among the most competitive anywhere. People study their hearts out just to get in. Everyone in China is expected to be able to speak fluent English is they are pursing any degree with International implications. Moving over to India and Malaysia, the standards are also insanely high. India keeps churning out highly educated university grads that they are taking jobs away in Europe. The India Insititute of Technology is among one of the best tech schools in the world (and where Asok from Dilbert apparently graduated from)
