1. Kean University’s controversial president
Kean University president Dawood Farahi has been a controversial figure in academia recently, with several resume questions coming out from the Kean Teachers Federation. Specifically, Dr. Farahi claimed that he had published articles in peer-reviewed journals, but those journals said they’d never even seen them. Other issues include conflicting dates, as well as inconsistencies in the titles and topics in his doctoral dissertation. Dr. Farahi offered little to no explanation for the resume issues, aside from the possibility that university staffers may have made mistakes when typing up his biography. Many in the Kean community have called for Farahi to be fired from his position as president, but the university’s board of trustees ultimately backed him, allowing Farahi to keep his job, at least for now. Students, professors, and others in the community have expressed their displeasure at the board’s decision, and some have even called for the board to be thrown out along with Dr. Farahi.
