The New York Post recently put out a news story uncovering one of the better kept secrets in NYC, that while students of the City University of New York (CUNY), who are predominately people of color and/or working class, work multiple jobs to stay in school, "The presidents of five City University of New York colleges and the dean of the university's law school get free housing in lavish homes in top-notch neighborhoods.

"Another 15 CUNY presidents and deans receive monthly $5,000 housing allowances, enough collectively to cover a year's tuition for nearly 200 students. Matthew Goldstein, the CUNY chancellor, earns $450,000 and gets an extra $90,000 a year for housing, giving him the highest allowance in the nation along with the new State University of New York chancellor and a college administrator in Kentucky."

All of this goes is someone legitimized despite the upcoming $600 increase in tuition for CUNY students, an increase that will purge thousands of students from the system.
