Supports local demand for independent investigation of charges against Kean President
UNION, NJ…Mounting evidence of resume fraud by Kean University President Dawood Farahi necessitates both an independent investigation and protection for whistle-blowers who called academic claims into question, according to American Federation of Teachers (AFT) President Randi Weingarten. Among the causes for concern, the leader of the 1.5 million-member union noted that Kean management recently removed athletic director Glenn Hedden, allegedly for reporting a host of NCAA violations including rigging grades for student athletes by administrators.
“To ignore the requests for an independent and prompt investigation into allegations of resume fraud by President Farahi will make it all that more difficult to restore Kean University’s integrity,” Weingarten wrote to Governor Chris Christie, reiterating a request made by Kean Federation of Teachers (KFT) President James Castiglione in January.
