Gulenist Acronyms


This page is a work in progress.  Each time an acronym is encountered it will be added here. 
Last updated Dec 31, 2013


Acronyms are often used by Gulenists on their resumes, to obscure the fact that they have moved from one Gulen school or organization to another.

For this reason, some of these acronyms are deciphered here.

AfSV  = Alliance for Shared Values
AIS  =  Australian Intercultural Society 
BASCS = Buffalo Academy of Science Charter School, or Bergen Arts and Science Charter School
IAAU  =  International Ataturk Alatoo University   (Kyrgyzstan)
IBSU  =  International Black Sea University   (Georgia)
IBU = International Burch University (Bosnia & Herzegovina)
ITTU  =  International Turkmen Turk University  (Turkmenistan)
JIES  =  Jingumae International Exchange School  (Japan)
