A coalition of eight black ministers have joined the call for the resignation of embattled Kean University President Darwood Farahi. On their Facebook page they say the head of the Union, N.J., school has resided over a “climate of racial intolerance that has been allowed to fester for years,” and responded with “too little too late” after anonymously posted death threats on Twitter this Tuesday targeting black students.

Members of the student movement Occupy Kean University allege that, among other things, Farahi falsified his resume and presided over a profound drop in the school’s graduation rate.
