For we are human.
7 Faced

So today was one of the weirdest days of my life, I found out that one of my University Teachers passed away due to cancer. I mean, it happens so often in society that once told I looked almost straight past it, as if it didn’t even shock me; but what I heard next did.
We were regretfully informed that in fact the teacher we had come to know was not who we thought he was. He in fact, was using an alias to have been teaching at the University for the past 7 years.
Not only this though, this man also had 7 alias’. He was known under 7 identities for several roles within SA.
When I thought it couldn’t get any worse, it did. I found out that he forged his Teaching Credentials; having claimed he acquired them at a University in Canada, he in fact has never left Australia.
To make matters weirder, ALL THE TIME, he would talk about his son, accomplishments he had made and things he hoped to achieved… This man has never had a son.

Right now I am actively apart of a course at University that this man structured and used to run. So right now, I feel; a lot of things.
Screwed over to say the least, betrayed and most heavily, worried about my future. Will continuing on in this course teach me anything given that this man had no credentials for his position, he merely taught himself these softwares at home.

I’ve been told the University is trying to cover it up, that they wont investigate those whom hired this man because they see no reason to. Well I see SEVERAL reasons to. They hired a man with forged credentials and let him sit in a position for 7 years without once questioning his belonging.

I went to University hoping to further my education and now, 4 years later, I just don’t know how far I’ve come. I guess all there is to do now is wait…
