Despite the disclosure Bonomi does not want to give up the chance of holding the post at the Luiss that most previous Confindustria leaders occupied. The Luiss,a private university charging hefty fees,  was founded under the auspices of Confindustria and relies on sponsorship from Confindustria connections as well as networking links for its graduates.

 

 Bonomi is applying pressure to the minister for universities and research, Anna Maria Bernini, to bend the rules in the Luiss statutes to allow for an interpretation under which the Confindustria can get the post without having been to university himself. 

 "Carlo Bonomi is not a graduate," the website AffariItaliana.it said, quoting Il Fatto. "The president of Confindustria lied about his level of study and has been discovered. Two official documents disprove him."
