Sources tell this newspaper that the Mepa board had not been consulted on the choice of site for the new university project, despite it being common practice for the board to be consulted before decisions are taken and made public. A unit within the Office of Mepa's CEO Johann Buttigieg was responsible for deeming the site 'acceptable' for the project.
