A renowned columnist with the Tribune Titles, Farooq Kperogi, has been elevated to the rank of professor at the Kennesaw State University in the United States.
The promotion letter, dated March 12 which was shared by Kperogi on his Twitter handle, said the elevation takes effect “at the beginning of your 2021-2022 contract.”
“Your promotion and salary increase will be effective at the beginning of your 2021-2022 contract.
“You are to be commended for the fine work that has resulted in this career milestone. I look forward to your continued productivity and success at KSU.”
