Dr Jeff Walkington, the BUM who ran UniHi into-the-ground (1 MILLION $$ Accounting FRAUD, resultant 1M debt!)

Jeff Walkington, the MOST INFAMOUS principal in UniHi history, making 171.8K yearly salary & living in a PALATIAL mansion in up-scale East Urbana

was UniHi Principal in-residence during the BIGGEST SCANDAL in history of UniHi:

1 MILLION $$ Accounting FRAUD -- billing teacher salaries to a BOGUS account!

As reported by News-Gazette, Daily Illini, Gargoyle (UniHi student newspaper):

Check out the *guilt-ridden* response by Bum Walkington (claims to have a PhD..LOL):

^^^ EXCUSE ME?? "they are still not sure how the error happened"

THIS IS THE DUMBEST STUPIDEST THING I HAVE EVER HEARD -- he *actually* said this PUBLICLY?? It amounts to ADMITTING GUILT -- what an IDIOT!?

[ sure enough, he got RUN OUT of UniHi in 2019 ("resignation") -- it took that AWFUL U of Illinois FIVE F***G YEARS to "get rid of the bum"..

"I assume the accounting scandal was why he had to resign"

-- Dr Rick Schult, UniHi '75, MIT undergrad & Stanford PhD Geophysics, personal communication

FIVE YEARS is an *eternity*, raking (more like "raping") in more than $171.8K/year ]

On top of the above, when I called Bum Walkington back in June/2016, after I visited Urbana/IL:

"maybe you should brush up your resume, & look for employment elsewhere"

whereupon I get a visit from Pasadena PD to my home in Pasadena (I live 2 blocks from Caltech)

They told me they had a SWAT sniper with rifle, hiding behind a tree:

"ready to drop a bomb on my head"

[ TRANSLATION: head shot, aka "blow my head off" ]

!!!!??? WHAT..

Apparently, "Bum" Walkington..RUNNING SCARED (knowing this scandal will ultimately result in Resignation or FIRING), decided to make a DESPERATE MOVE

"There are no Desperate Situations, only DESPERATE PEOPLE"
-- General Heinz Guderian, inventor Blitzkrieg (Lightning War)

Apparently, somewhere along the line:

Bum Walkington to Jeff Christensen (U of I Police Chief, another BUM!)

[ he got EXPOSED as an Incompetent/CORRUPT JERK during the SCANDALOUS Yingying Zhang kidnappig/rape/murder/be-heading, who ENCOURAGED U of I students to report crimes on Reddit UIUC. Sure enough, various reports surface -- including an attempt at

parking lot of  U of I Police Station (Goodwin/Springfield)

just 1 block East of UniHi. The perpetrator (crazed U of I Physics grad-student Brendt Christesen)  as actually ROAMING the STEM area:

Bardeen Quad (Beckman Inst, ECE Bldg, Coordinated Science Laboratory, NCSA, Siebel Center for Computer Science) & UniHi

On top of that, there was an attempt the morning of Yingying Zhang kidnapping (afternoon), east of Lincoln Ave (in Urbana) -- female PhD student (Atmospheric Sciences). She *dutifully* reported it to Urbana PD, but IT NEVER GOT FORWARDED to U of  I Police!! CONTRADICTING what U of I Police Chief (Jeff Christense) claimed on Reddit UIUC:

"U of I Police network closely with Urbana PD & Champaign PD"

Jeff Christensen showed up at Altgeld Hall town-meeting, with U of I Vice-President Communications (Robin Kaler) -- red-in-the-face (obviously DRINKING) & LEG SHAKING NERVOUSLY!! Clearly, he was feeling the Heat (Guilty as Charged  -- INCOMPETENCE)

Yes, Jeff Christensen AUTHORED many Trespass Notices AGAINST ME, in my *dutiful* activity in reporting

Threat to NATIONAL SECURITY (US Air Force spy-satellites in JEOPARDY)

sourced from Caltech/NASA/JPL

in order to PROTECT my Dad's legacy (U of I Aerospace Eng Prof/Dept Head), who

established *strong* collaboration between U of I College of Engineering & Caltech/NASA/JPL

[ via Dr Ken Atkins (U of I Aerospace Eng PhD, who flew B52 strategic bombers in Vietnam Conflict ]

BOTTOMLINE:
Jeff Christensen is DIRECTLY RESPONSIBLE for the EXTORTION against me, in trying to

PROTECT National Security of United States

as per Security Briefings I had at Caltech/NASA/JPL

"Mandatory Requirement to report ANY Threat to National Security"

WOW..that means U of I Police, Police Chief "Jeff Christensen", U of I Aerospace Eng Dept are COMPLICIT as *accessory* ("enabler") to that

ROGUE Caltech/NASA/JPL (Caltech runs JPL under NASA contract)

where they will be SHUT DOWN *PERMANENTLY* by FBI (with DoJ "Dept of Justice" in tow). Just Google Search "Los Alamos Lab Security Breach":

Los Alamos National Lab (where Atomic Bomb was developed in WW2) was SHUT DOWN for 2 weeks

to investigate the Security Breach.

However, the Caltech/NASA/JPL is FAR MORE SERIOUS -- the Bad Actor (non-PhD astronoer at JPL) has been acting like a "sleeper spy" for nearly 40 Freakin' Years.. Yes, he's JEWISH ]

decided to FABRICATE A LIE about me -- likely FALSELY ACCUSING ME of a death-threat!

This is COMMONLY DONE by Urbana PD:

"we got a report of you threatening people with a gun, & shooting them up"

^^^ TOTAL F***G LIE, these SH*T COPS!!

[ I have experienced this TWICE, during my July/2024 visit to Urbana/IL, while making rounds at U of Illinois -- arranging meetings with various Dept Heads:

Physics, Mechanical Sciences & Engineering, Beckman Institute (Biophysics), Chemistry, Computer Science, Astronomy, etc

Also, visiting some people in Urbana -- 2 of my old residences (my parents) & friends (neighbors). Also, Dr Thomas Huang's old residence (2211 Vawter, Urbana) ]

A simple FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) request, will REVEAL the dirty paper-trail.

Yes, they would be STUPID ENOUGH to do it via email, likely PRIVATE EMAIL

[ in violation of Public Disclosure Laws -- U of I business MUST be conducted using Illinois.edu emails. ]

BTW, this is what the lawsuit by Dr Steven Salaita (infamous Dr Steven Salaita SCANDAL) revealed about Chancellor (Dr Phyllis Wise) & Provost (Dr Adesida, EE Dept):

"This University is so messed up"/Dr Phyllis Wise

"I agree, this university is messed up"/Dr Adesida

^^^ WOW.. As soon as these DISCUSTING emails went Public (MSM "Mainstream Media"), the above 2 bums (with Bum Walkington, a close 3rd) had NO CHOICE but to RESIGN in Aug/2015

Another Top Official At University Of Illinois Resigning - CBS Chicago (cbsnews.com)

GET THIS:
Likely when I get a lawyer to SUE UniHi, U of Illinois -- a SIMILAR thing will be revealed:

"DIRTY (private) emails used to ASSASSINATE Dr Robert Yen using FABRICATED LIES ("threatening phone call by me to Bum Walkington")"

The lawyer? Just any one of the my various '70 - '75 classmates:

1) Shawn Holliday UniHi '75, U of Michigan Law School grad, U of I bronze-tablet scholar (Political Science)
my best friend growing up K-6 (Wiley Elementary)

2) Lt Commander (retired) Tom Dworschak, U of I ROTC, Emory Law School
former US Army lawyer (along with his wife Betty), did his 20 years..retired. Then, joined

DoJ (Dept of Justice)/Atlanta as trial-attorney

GET THIS:
Tom & I are going to Congress, to testify about

MONSTROUS SCANDAL in Astronomy/Physics implicating major R1 (Research Tier 1) Univs, NASA (!!)

Caltech, Harvard, MIT, U of Arizona, Stanford, Arizona State, U of Illinois (!!)

NASA/JPL (run by Caltech), NASA/AMES, NASA/GSFC (Goddard Space Flight Center..brain-trust of NASA)

^^^ NOTE "U of Illinois" -- this brings them into a SECOND CASE of 

Incompetence/CORRUPTION

!!! YOU CAN'T MAKE THIS S**T UP..as the saying goes

At this point, the reader is saying

WHAT IS GOING ON??

ANSWER:
It's the Narcissist DYSFUNCTIONAL (full of Incompetence/CORRUPTION) Academia:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/lifestyle/magazine/2002/07/21/professor-of-desperation/765ad667-03eb-4c50-ab96-48360fe330f4/

"It's ironic. Universities are supposed to be the bastions of freedom, but WHEN YOU LOOK BEHIND THE SCENES, THEY'RE VERY EXPLOITATIVE"
-- Scot Hamilton, from Washington Post article "Professor of Desperation"

Just look at how Web/Internet is EXPOSING Academia for WHAT IT IS -- Mafia-like practices:

Exortion, Gangster University Police, etc

^^^ THIS. It's what FREAKIN' HAPPENED TO ME -- Caltech AND U of Illinois!!

These "Machines" will goto NO ENDS, stoop to LOWEST LEVEL -- to GET WHAT THEY WANT!

Like I say, they're run like MAFIA!

"Univs are run like CORPORATIONS"
-- Dr Rick Schult, UniHi '74, private communication

(EXAMPLE)  Caltech is a good example -- how they ABUSED Dr Sandra Troian
She had a classified project (Space Technology) at JPL (Caltech manages it under NASA contract)

*correctly*reported her Israeli post-doc to FBI, for ESPIONAGE

[ sending sensitive information back to Israel ]

Lawsuit says Caltech Provost and others ignored Israeli spying and then retaliated against whistleblower

https://ifamericansknew.org/us_ints/sp-caltech.html

She was then EXTORTED by (scumbag) Jewish 

President Dr Thomas Rosenbaum (Physics) & Provost Dr Ed Stolper (Geophysics)

along with female staffers BREAKING INTO Dr Troian's office, to STEAL her evidence!!

^^^ SERIOUSLY -- felony "breaking & entering" ??

YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME

Poor Sandra developed heart problems, & was literally TORTURED by the above A**H***S!

She SUED Caltech..and WON! Open-and-Shut case, due to IRREFUTABLE EVIDENCE ("smoking gun" trail)

"I'm ITALIAN!!"
-- Sandra Troian, shouting to me over the phone

Moral of the Story:
DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT, mess with an Italian woman!!

"My Italian mom would NOT be afraid to resort to physical means..[  Tough Love ]"
-- Bill Parcells, famed NFL football coach (2 Super Bowl rings), ESPN Sports Century "Bill Parcells"

Then..THERE'S ME!!

I have an Italian type of personality, I wear my Emotions on my Sleeve. Having been trained with Tough Love at

Wiley K-6 (Urbana), UniHi (U of Illinois Dept of Education), U of Illinois Electrical Eng (BS/MS/PhD)

I DO NOT TAKE S**T!!

Unfortunately, the U of Illinois & UniHi (its red-headed step child) have displayed

Worst of the WORST

towards me, when I SIMPLY brought up OBVIOUS issues w/UniHi (THEIR doing, not ME!!)

BTW, it's NOT JUST ME -- there are OTHER UniHi alumni who are UNHAPPY, especially after the

CATASTROPHIC 1 MILLION Accounting FRAUD

E.g., Jane Hays (UniHi '72)

"What is going on with that?"
-- Jane Hays, asking Christine Szabo, Dec/2014 mini-UniHi reunion

The story of  Dr "The Bum" Walkington ISN'T OVER..

Daily Illini article "University High in $1 million debt due to accounting error" -- WHAT THE HECK??

https://dailyillini.com/news-stories/2014/10/22/university-high-in-1-million-debt-due-to-accounting-error/

October 22, 2014

Due to an accounting error that charged salaries to a closed account for several years, the University Laboratory High School has accumulated nearly $1 million of debt.  

Jeff Walkington, director of the high school, said they are still not sure how the error happened. 

The University filed a request for an audit in September, which is now underway. School officials hope the audit will tell more than just how the error occurred.

“We hope that from this audit we will figure out how the error happened and also how finances can be better monitored,” Walkington said.

^^^ WHAT A LIAR that Dr Jeff Walkington is.."not sure how it happened"

He makes 170K per year, 1 of the top salaries at U of Illinois: 

while his 'po-boy UniHi was SO HARD UP for Money/$$:

they pay teachers 20% less than public HS teachers

This is SO "Univ of Illinois" -- a VERY CORRUPT University. Racked with CONSECUTIVE SCANDALS:

1) TWO President RESIGNATIONS in TWO YEARS
1st one involving Admissions FRAUD -- disgraced IL governor Blagoyevich (sentenced to Federal Prison), who tried to get his cronies UNQUALIFIED kids in to U of I. Poor Dr Joe White had to RESIGN, after an U of I insider became whistle-blower:

"this ISN'T RIGHT, the Public has to know!"

2) former U of Connecticut douche (& his female crony, Psychology Prof)
600K spent on Search Committee, to find above trouble-makers, sordid paper-trail at U of Connecticut. .6 MILLION spent to find a couple of IDIOTS. Dr Gordon Baym  (U of I Physics Dept), et al went on a warpath to RUN these 2 jerks out..


Followed by DISGRACEFUL resignation in Aug/2015 by

Chancellor (Dr Phyllis Wise) & Provost (Dr Adesida, EE Dept)

after the lawsuit by Dr Steven Salaita

[ where U of I was BOYCOTTED by leading scholars, & CENSURED by AAUP (American Assn of University Professors). After Dr Salaita was hired, then un-hired ("fired") simply for expressing his Freedom of Speech ]

revealed that they were using PRIVATE EMAILS to conduct University business:

in violation of Public Disclosuere Laws. I.e, what they did was TOTALLY ILLEGAL

"This University is so messed up"/Dr Phyllis Wise

"I agree this University is MESSED UP"/Dr Adesida

^^^ Oh Boy!! Once these emails went Public, these 2 clowns had NO CHOICE but to resign!

2 weeks later, Head Football Coach Tim Beckman was FIRED for player-abuse, after his former player tweeted whistle-blowing evidence. 6 months later, AD (Athletic Director) Mike Thomas was FIRED!

The DIAA (Division of Intercollegiate Athletic) was left in SHAMBLES due to the above. It was that clown Dr Phyllis Wise who HIRED that idiot Mike Thomas, as AD

Then, she turns around & pulls MORE boners while Chancellor

^^^ This is SO "U of Illinois"

There were SCORES of U of I alumni, CALLING IN to U of I to complain!

Myself included..

1 MILLION $$ "budget shortfall" (Accounting FRAUD), reported by News-Gazette (2014)

OMG WTF

https://www.news-gazette.com/news/uni-high-facing-unexpected-1-million-plus-deficit-after-accounting-error/article_730a43eb-2333-5ff2-9b11-d481d2c8c212.html

reported Oct 2014, updated 2019

^^^ THIS. Accounting FRAUD for chrissake!!

EVERY UniHi alumni I've run into has had a INCREDULOUS reaction to this.

E.g., Jane Hays (UniHi '72), who attended a mini UniHi reunion Dec/2014, at Christine Szabo's house:

"What is going on with this?"

she asked Christine, who gave a typical political-type of excuse (LIE). I stood there, just *cringing* -- COME ON Christine. Just TELL THE TRUTH, for chrissake!

UniHi was *always* DYSFUNCTIONAL, now 23 years later after 1981:

when it was SCHEDULE FOR CLOSURE

it got a last-minute save when Dr James Tobin won the 1981 Economics Nobel, whereupon

U of I Provost, Dr Edwin "Ned" Goldwasser (U of I Physics, whose kids went to UniHi in early 60's)

decided UniHi was WORTH saving. And, put it under U of I Provost, previously it was under College of Education

^^^ BAD IDEA.. Because, UniHi NEVER got the Tough Love moment to get their S**T together:

Managment, esp Fiscal Responsibility ("balancing the budget")

There have been some cryptic references to UniHi, incl this tidbit:

"UniHi will always find a way to exist"
-- Warrenn Royer, UniHi English Dept, UniHi principal ('74 - '75)

I had thought UniHi had some Golden Years, as part of the typical

Peaks & Valleys evolution path

but, apparently UniHi was ALWAYS dogged by "existence" problems. Best summarized by my UniHi '75 Class President, Shawn Holliday:

"Fall down, pick yourself back up, struggled, FALL DOWN again. Rinse & Repeat"

-- Shawn Holliday, private communication, Re: America

UniHi ALWAYS had problems, dating back to my days ('70 - '75), I'm UniHi Class of '75:

Threats of closing UniHi down, DIFFERENT principal EACH YEAR (!), under-funded "poor" facilities, etc

I.e., Money & Leadership problems -- plague-ing the so-called "elite" high school..

I have since learned via Christine Szabo

[ "cheerleader" for UniHi, daughter of famed Dr Steven Szabo, protege of Dr Max Beberman (UICSM founder) ]

that UniHI was declared a "public high-school", to gain Public (taxpayer) funds.. MORE indication of FUNDING ISSUES at UniHi. Moreover, at my late June & early July visit of Urbana (& U of Illinois), there is a BIG SIGN on UniHi grounds -- BEGGING for Money/$$ !!

BAD SIGN.. [ no pun intended ]

On the heels of 1 MILLION $$ budget-shortfall, they are STILL having Fiscal Funding issues..


Well, now UniHi has *competitition*, the Academy High private HS:

^^^ seen at Marketplace Mall (Champaign)

At this point, if I were a C-U parent wanting an elite magnet school, Academy High would be the CLEAR choice! No problems, No drama

During our UniHi '75 20th reunion, the Alumni coordinator (awful Marilyn Upah-Bant) told me:

"UniHi teachers make 20% less, than the going-rate"

when I asked about UniHi teacher salaries. My best-friend @UniHi

[ now Dr Larry Stinson, anesthesiologist in Anchorage/AK ]

actually donated thousands of $$'s for alumni, to help with travel to 20th reunion. Including myself.

I *extended* the questionnaire started by Shawn Holliday (UniHi '75 Class President), by doing a self-initiated

History project for UniHi 70's ('70 - '80)

to answer the question:

"What is the Legacy of UniHi 70's classes"

I.e. How did it affect our Life Path, Career, etc.

I *asked* for the REMAINDER of Dr Larry Stinson's generous donation, to continue my project post-20th UniHi reunion, from Marily Upah-Bant. Upon which she got ANGRY with me, exclaiming:

"We're SAVING paper-clips here!"

^^^ Well..we NOW know the motive of the above 1 MILLION $$ "budget shortall"

[ translation: Accounting FRAUD ]

UniHi simply was Fiscally Inept, & resorted to FRAUD ("cheating")

Cheaters Never Prosper

as the saying goes..
