“In August 2013 Henderson earned her Ph.D. in nursing from UIC, the school where she had also received her master’s in nursing and her MBA. In December that same year, she took a job as interim provost for Chicago State University (CSU), a job that she held until 2018. However, shortly after she took the provost position, now-retired CSU history professor Robert Bionaz accused Henderson of plagiarism in her dissertation. Bionaz is widely described as an adversary of Henderson and Henderson believes that the accusations were politically motivated.”
