UNION — Kean University officials are making their case to keep the school’s accreditation in an 80-page report that lists dozens of changes the campus made in response to being put on probation by its accrediting agency. 2003 Star-Ledger file photo The Middle States Commission on Higher Education wanted to know more about Kean’s integrity policies after President Dawood Farahi was accused by faculty of lying about items on his résumé. In February, the university’s trustees voted 7-4 to allow him to keep his job after an internal investigation.
The document, obtained by The Star-Ledger, is now being circulated around campus before a final version is submitted to the Middle States Commission on Higher Education Sept. 1, campus officials said.
The commission plans to send an inspection team to the Union Township campus to help decide whether Kean gets to keep its accreditation.
