Kean U. President Says Errors Were Made, by Others, on His Résumé

The president of Kean University, who is the subject of a Board of Trustees investigation into whether he falsified his résumé, has acknowledged that some mistakes were made, according to The Star-Ledger. Dawood Farahi, the president, told the New Jersey newspaper that there were inaccuracies on his past résumés, including claims that he had been acting academic dean at Avila College and that he had published more than 50 technical articles in “major publications.” However, he said he was not responsible for the errors, which he said were made by staff members at Kean who had helped prepare his résumé for accreditation reviews at the university. The assertions that Mr. Farahi had made false claims on his résumé were made by the faculty union, with whom the president has frequently clashed.
