Lebanon’s MTV has canceled an investigative program episode featuring a businessman who has accused the American University of Beirut (AUB) of corruption in the past, after the university won an injunction to prevent the airing of the interview.
Nabil Chartouni, a Lebanese businessman and former member of the AUB board of trustees, was expected to speak in the show, Tahqeeq, about financial mismanagement at the 7,000 student-strong institution, Al-Akhbar has learned.

Chartouni has made up to $120,000 in annual donations to the university for roughly 12 years. In 2011, he compiled a report detailing “mismanagement, corruption and malpractice” that he estimates has cost the institution “millions of dollars each year”, sending the information to the board of trustees and Lebanese newspaper The Daily Star.
