Northeastern Illinois still grants lifetime tenure to 'exceptional' professor
A Northeastern Illinois University professor with two master' degrees ?but without an accredited doctorate?was granted tenure under a university policy that allows "exceptional" teachers to be hired without a doctorate.
Sounds like a non-story, right? Except the professor, Theophilus "T.Y." Okosun, is a black man from Nigeria who attended a Catholic school.
He's black, he's a Christian, he's a superior instructor, so he's on George Gollin's hate list
Now stalker and self-appointed "expert"? George Gollin is taking time away from defending himself in his pending $120 million shakedown lawsuit to attack Okosun.
"Some"? people is apparently Gollinspeak for "white"? people, or at least "non-African"? people.
In fact Okosun already had two master's degrees from the Catholic University of Leuven in Belgium when he moved to the United States. Catholic University is the oldest Catholic university in the world, according to their website.
He then earned a PhD from state-approved but unaccredited Pacific Western University in Los Angeles, completing a thesis on violence at Cabrini-Green, where he'd been working for a nonprofit.
So if there is no problem with his teaching (in fact, he is said to be "better than superior"?) and the university knew he did'nt have a regionally accredited PhD, why should an insignificant putz like George Gollin care?
Clearly George Gollin has an axe to grind with any black man who tries to get ahead in academia, particularly if the man has connections to Africa.
And the fact that the guy spent time at a Catholic (or "Papist" as they call it in the Gollin household) university just adds fuel to the fire as far as Gollin is concerned.
It's yet another example of George Gollin's bigotry and racism directed against Africans and African-Americans, just like he is accused of doing with Dr. Jerroll Dolphin and St. Luke School of Medicine.?
Small wonder then that George Gollin and his employer find themselves on the wrong end of federal lawsuits. The way he spends all his spare time insulting and degrading black people and Christians, he seems to be begging for more.

Quote:"That could mislead people," said George Gollin, a University of Illinois physics professor who has investigated diploma mills.
"?They probably turned down some people who would have done fine in the job, who had solid academic credentials, because they didn't understand what his degree was," Gollin said.

Quote:"Those of us who come in as immigrants, we didn't understand the difference between 'state-approved' and 'accredited.'"
He said university officials knew it wasn't [from a regionally accredited school] because he told them. "I said, 'Look, this is an unaccredited institution,' " Okosun said. "That was clear.''
Quote:But the school allowed Okosun to pursue the lifetime employment contract "without a Ph.D." based on his teaching skills. Okosun eventually demonstrated to faculty and administrators that his teaching is so "exceptional" that he is worthy of tenure, [Northeastern Illinois Provost Larry] Frank said.
"You already have to present yourself as a superior teacher or scholar to be tenured," said Frank, who as provost is the school's chief academic officer. "So 'exceptionality' means better than superior.''
