A former Slippery Rock University cabinet member is speaking out after having his position eliminated earlier this year.
Our newsroom spoke with former Senior Vice President of Administration, Global Engagement, and Economic Development Dr. Amir Mohammadi, who made multiple accusations against the university and President Dr. Bill Behre.
Among the accusations include Behre signing off on an engineering program, despite Mohammadi’s objection that it would lose money.
“I noticed that they provided that within four years, the program would bring in $3 million for the two new engineering programs,” Mohammadi said. “I said there is no way this is true, and I will never sign it.”
Mohammadi contends the program has lost at least $1 million so far.
He also says the university is offering scholarships to students that are unsustainable and depleting the college’s scholarship fund.
“The university had a level of a scholarship that was close to $7 million. Are you really going to cut 33 percent where the students won’t have any new scholarships, or current students will have scholarships cut? This is asinine,” Mohammadi said.
He also said he reported this to the state system, which made a report and said they found nothing wrong. However, that report was not made public.
