Farahi Resignation

In my fifth year at Kean, as an assistant professor of micobiology, I was denied tenure by this very man. I had 17 peer-reviews publications, three of which were done wholly at Kean. In top journals w/ high citation indices. My website www.eboehm.com documents my student research program at Kean. I served as PI and was awarded a $300,000 federal grant by the NSF which went to Kean. I had outstanding student and peer teaching evaluations. I had the full support of the KFT teachers union. I also was the only faculty member in my cohort to recieve unanimous approval for my reappointment. And yet the Kean administration chose to ignore all of this. My crime? I strongly disagreed w/ the President, Dean and Provost regarding the break up of the biology department. I had 126 students write to the president on my behalf. I remember well Farahi's reaction to these letters of support. Farahi said they counted for nothing because they came from "little people". This man is a disgrace to the acdemic community and should be sacked immediately. He is highly vindictive, rude, and a fraud in the deepest sense. The Board should also be dismissed, as clearly they do not have the interests of the students at heart. Let us remember that Farahi tecieved an %83 vote of no confidence by the faculty in 2010. Kean has become the laughing stock of NJ public education, as a result of the reckless actions taken by this man. Shame!
