 Now, the Chicago State University says President Borla Tinnable attended the institution and graduated in 1979 with a bachelor's degree in business and administration. In a statement published by the CBS News, the institution said it was confident in the veracity and integrity of their records regarding Tinnable's completion of graduation requirements and degree certificate. However, it noted that the United States federal law prevents them from providing any further information about Tinnable's record without consent or unless allowed to do so via a court order. The controversies of Tinnable's academic record took a fresh turn when the presidential candidate of the People's Democratic Party, Attiku Abuboka, took it up in the United States court. Other hearing in Chicago, Attiku asked the federal judge to compare the CSU officials to turn over Tinnable's academic document and appear for depositions.
