Seeking update on Qatar Academy/Doha

I see Qatar Academy-Doha has a long list of openings, and I assume it is due to the administration's response (or lack thereof) to Dorje Gurung's arrest last spring. Can anyone confirm this? Are all of the teachers whose contracts are up leaving out of protest? I'm wondering how the administration attempted to calm the waters after Dorje Gurung left. Is Dr. Sands staying on next year?

Sands is staying, big bucks will do that.

The school is really going all Qatari. Classes by gender. Lots of Islam stuff.

It is not a good scene, I would avoid at all costs.
