Comprehensive edits analysis
AIU-Vandal is a user from what is likely the Philippines. Mainly, AIU-Vandal uses different IPs and accounts to publish misinformation about the unaccredited university known as Atlantic International University. Examples of these disruptions include:

  • Saying that AIU is not a diploma mill, despite sources saying otherwise and removing said sources without consensus.([1])
    • This will be a recurrent theme throughout.
  • Rewriting the article about the university to a promotional tone.([2])
  • Repeatedly states that ASIC is a U.K. college accreditor. It is not, it only accredits schools for visa purposes and not degree granting purposes.([3])
  • Claiming that being a business is a sign of a business not being widely described as a diploma mill.([4]
