Universidad Federico Henríquez y Carvajal

Universidad Federico Henríquez y Carvajal (UFHEC) is a private university located in Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic.

On July 31, 1998,^[1] the State of California, through the Medical Board and its Licensing Program, formally disapproved Universidad Federico Henriquez y Carvajal (UFHEC) graduates as eligible for medical licensure. They stated that "neither education completed at, nor diplomas issued by, the school will be accepted toward meeting the requirements for training and/or medical licensure" in the state. In 1996, a United States federal judge ordered that "the eligibility of Universidad Federico Henriquez y Carvajal to participate in the student financial assistance programs authorized under Title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965 be terminated" due to failure to develop a satisfactory academic progress policy and inappropriate need analysis for 11 recipients of Title IV student financial aid.^[2]

According to the United States Department of Education, it originally operated under the name Universidad Mundial Dominicana under the administration of Dr. Ronald Bauer. In 1988, due to irregular financial management, the National Council of Higher Education (Consejo Nacional de Education Superior, CONES) assumed control of the school and put two former Universidad Mundial officials in charge. In 1991, CONES decided to change the name of the school to Universidad Federico Henriquez y Carvajal due to the damage done to the previous name. The CONES claimed that the new school is a separate entity rather than a continuation of the previous school. ^[2]
