MOBILE, Ala. (AP) - A former online college dean in Orange Beach
has been sentenced to two years in prison for using a dead man's
Social Security number to obtain student loans.
The 2-year prison term handed down to Christopher Adalikwu was
the minimum set by law for aggravated identity theft.
The 48-year-old Adalikwu admitted in a written plea agreement
that he applied for federal financial aid Aug. 19 using the Social
Security number of Harvey Akers, who died in 1976. The aid was to
pay for a program at Grenoble Graduate School of Business in
France.
He lost his job last summer as dean of the business school at
Columbia Southern University, an online school based in Orange
Beach.
