In contractual arrangements with Singapore’s Economic Development Board, by 2020 the campus was required to have international students comprise up to 70 percent of its projected 15,000 enrollments. The university cited low enrollments (resulting in a multimillion dollar shortfall) and the expectation of further financial losses as reasons for closure. The vice chancellor of the University of South Wales noted that the university had invested AU$17.5 (US$14.3) million in the project, and millions more dollars would be spent on redundancy packages and other exit costs. The Singapore government also con¬tributed resources to the operation, but the total has not been made public. This closure follows less than a year after the July 2006 announcement that the biomedical research facility of the US Johns Hopkins University in Singapore (established 1998) would close within a year. The Singapore government’s Agency for Science, Technology and Research, discontinued its substantial funding, claiming that various key performance indicators had not been met-including failure to meet targets for PhD enrollments and targets for attracting leading medical researchers to migrate to Singapore.
