School for scandal: $afety net at CUNY for fallen city bigs

The New York Post reports:
Whether you left city government with good references or under investigation, chances are a cushy academic position awaits you at the City University of New York.

Four former commissioners in Mayor Bloomberg's administration -- two of whom who resigned amid scandals -- currently hold teaching and administrative posts at CUNY, funded by taxpayer dollars.

Former Finance Commissioner Martha Stark -- forced out the door in disgrace last April after she was outed for dating a subordinate and hiring relatives -- currently holds a "distinguished lecturer" position at Baruch College. She collects an annual salary of $103,285.
Your tax dollars at work in "politicized" , government run education.
