More about Dr Shaheen

Shaheen Borna is originally from Iran. According to a 2015 news release about Ball State’s Center for International Development, Borna immigrated to the United States in 1970 as a college student. The article mentioned that Borna has returned to Iran only twice since moving to the U.S., but that his wife visited more frequently to see family members.

Borna earned an MBA from Florida State University in 1979, according to his Ball State bio. He began teaching at the university in 1983. Borna’s work has been published in numerous trade publications and his bio adds that he is a “member of the Editorial Review Board for the Journal of Business Ethics, Journal of Marketing for Higher Education, and Mid-American Journal of Business.”

Borna also appears to be outspoken on the campus. In 2017, he submitted an opinion article to the student newspaper about Ball State’s decision to implement a new slogan, “We Fly.” Borna explained that he believed the university was wasting its money on the marketing campaign. ” Is it wise to allocate $1 million of Ball State University’s resources for a vacuous new tagline such as ‘We Fly,’ and at the same time lowering the water pressure throughout the campus to save money?”



It sounds more like it got out of hand and the campus police added to the situation instead of defusing it.
