I can't say about this individual here, but it is known many mills or unaccredited schools do offer 'professorships' and the like for wholesale in exchange for 'donations'...
Unlike 'platinum standard' schools that require hundreds thousands, unaccredited schools may find a few hundreds or thousands enough.

Len, along with the other guys in SRU's "faculty", got his "professorship" for free. Len and most of the other guys on the SRU faculty list, were actually commissioned to develop courses of study which they never taught and never received a cent from SRU for their work.

He and the others called themselves professors because they thought they had been appointed in teaching positions in a MoE accredited university.
