| Publisher Description: For years, one of the largest charter school networks operating in the United States has secretly concealed their affiliation with the controversial Turkish imam Fethullah G len. Now, their activity has come under greater public attention. A pattern of hidden agendas, phony real estate practices, self-dealing among their own vendors, inflated kickbacks, and rampant abuse of visa programs are just some of the practices uncovered by following investigation into the G len schools operating in 28 different states. The Republic of Turkey engaged Amsterdam & Partners LLP to conduct a comprehensive accounting of all G lenist-controlled charter schools within the U.S. to document the breadth and scope of the G lenist network. Through this investigation, Amsterdam & Partners ultimately uncovered an extensive nationwide network of G lenists, charter schools, charter management corporations, educational foundations, real estate companies, school vendors, and G lenist cultural associations working together to exploit the American charter school model to orchestrate large-scale private profit at the public's expense. This abuse negatively impacts the quality of education delivered to some of the country's most vulnerable communities, and creates a poisonous political environment. What follows are the results of a rigorous examination of public records. These are the facts we must consider, with the hope that a much-needed debate will follow. |
