Teacher’s union alleges school president falsified credentials
By Cheryl Hehl, Staff Writer
Kean University President Dawood Farahi allegedly falsified his academic credentials in a series of deliberate misrepresentations prior to being hired in 2003, according to a recent letter sent to the Kean University Board of Trustees.
The Kean Federation of Teachers, which is calling for an independent investigation by the university board of trustees, supplied the information in a letter dated Nov. 29 to the board president, a copy of which LocalSource obtained.
According to James Castiglione, president of the Kean Federation of Teachers, a source close to the board of trustees indicated they preferred conducting an in-house investigation before this information became public. However, there has been no confirmation the board immediately launched an investigation or how they plan to address the latest controversy involving the president of this state university.
