Did you try their official complaint/takedown button?  Sometimes that works better than the LE route (go figure).

The process I am referring to is when you go to the offending the page, near their name in the header there is a small 
square with ellipses and it [...]  Click that and "report" the page

Subject: [SECURITY] Facebook takedowns?

Has anyone had any experience with having a facebook page taken down?

We have an individual that is impersonating our University's President on facebook making various statements that 
appear to be intended to embarrass him and tarnish our University's reputation.  We've had our campus police file a 
complaint through their law enforcement contact site and have also had a number of people report the account as an 
impersonator.  To date the only responses that we have had equate to "The account does not violate our content or 
community standards"

Are there any other avenues that we can take?  Has anyone been successful in having a page taken down?

Thanks,
-Dave
