‘s image will be tarnished if it does release Tinubu’s academic records per court order. But Chicago State University’s image is already poor. (The tweet below by a tweep is instructive) And it is fitting that Bola Tinubu would claim that he received a degree from this unscrupulous institution. Below are just samples of the deep-seated corruption that this institution has been enmeshed in: CSU settles yet another whistleblower lawsuit for $1.3 million http://chicago.suntimes.com/2017/1/4/18351…

2015
CHICAGO (WLS) — A former Chicago State University director is accused of hatching a plan to hire her mother in a ghost payroll scheme. Thursday, the accused appeared in court on numerous theft, official misconduct and fraud charges.
The amount missing from Chicago State University is relatively small, less than $10,000, but State’s Attiorney Anita Alvarez called the alleged fraud “reprehensible.”
“She was so brazen in the way this theft occurred that it is reprehensible,” Alvarez said.
LeShondra Peebles, 43, a former administrator, is accused of hiring her mother, 65-year-old Shirley Kyles, who never showed up for work. Peebles also is alleged to have steered a consulting contract to a family friend.
“The University uncovered this and brought this to our attention last year,” Alvarez said. “So they did a great job in performing an internal audit to find this.”
Former CSU president Wayne Watson was sued by Peebles, who alleged Watson tried to make her file a sexual harassment allegation against a professor. Watson reported his suspicions about Peebles to the State’s Attorney office.
Donna More is running against Alvarez in next year’s Democratic primary. The former state and federal prosecutor suspects the incumbent’s CSU announcement is political.
“This office, in my judgement, only does things when forced,” More said. “So I’m glad that competition in the State’s Attorney’s race has led her to actually indict a public corruption case.”
Alvarez disputed that charge, saying, “I have charged more political corruption cases than any of my predecessors since I took over.”
Another Democratic primary challenger is former Assistant State’s Attorney Kim Foxx. After releasing a campaign video this morning, she also said the two term incumbent is trying remake her image.

2017
Financially struggling Chicago State University has agreed to pay off a $4.3 million judgment it owes to a former administrator who filed a whistleblower lawsuit against the school nearly seven years ago.
The Chicago Sun-Times reports that after years of fighting the case, attorneys for the university say they will pay the judgment to James Crowley, who had been the university’s senior legal counsel. He contended in 2010 that he was fired for exposing questionable contracts and refusing to shield public records that were embarrassing to former university President Wayne Watson
A jury in 2014 awarded Crowley back pay and $2 million in punitive damages, on top of $330,000 in fees for his attorneys. The amount owed has grown because of interest charges and additional fees incurred while Chicago State appealed the case.
