To the editor:
I was relieved to note that Fordham is apparently aware of the irony of holding its “Penny Saved” event in January at the swank Mayflower Hotel, where J. Edgar Hoover lunched for many decades and Eliot Spitzer sullied Albany's 138 Eagle Street. But it has now come to light that Fordham’s high living extends far beyond that solitary event to the daily operations of the organization itself. The board retreat in Moorea. The Moet et Chandon at the holiday party. Checker’s $400 haircuts. Mike’s 365-day leave of absence to pretend to write a book. This is hardly the behavior of an organization that urges schools to do “more with less.” Please unsubscribe me from the Gladfly.
