Since it was founded in 2003, Amity University has opened campuses in India, England, China, South Africa and five other countries. Amity University, a system of private colleges based in New Delhi, has long sought to create a global network of schools, however.

Massachusetts education officials have requested more information from Amity about the proposal.
