Fjalar Sigurdsson, a student at Reykjavik University’s MBA program has asked the university to relieve him from having to attend a course taught by Jonas Fr. Jonsson, the former head of the Icelandic Financial Authorities.
Jonas was the head of the Financial Authority in the years leading up to the economic crash and is seen as the epitomy of the institution’s dormant state through the “economic miracle”. Jonas got his position there on the strength of being an active member of the Independence Party. His father, former MP Jon Magnusson is now one of the applicants for the job of independent special prosecutor of the crash.
Reykjavik University’s rektor is Svava Grönfeldt who herself sat on the board of Landsbankinn during its control by Independence Party favorites Bjorgolfur Gudmundsson, Kjartan Gunnarsson and Sigurjon Th. Arnason, and while IceSave was being introduced.
The university has said that Fjalar is the only student who has complained about Jonas, and an independent review board from within the school has decided to stay the course with Jonas at its helm, citing his invaluable experience.
The course Jonas is teaching is Business Law and Corporate Responsibility.
