The Times might not pursue it properly but the Times-Union will more likely.<br />If you haven't already dealt with this:<br /><br />As of the August 2011 Times story<br />http://www.nytimes.com/2011/08/15/nyregion/free-advisers-cost-ny-education-dept-critics-say.html?_r=0<br />the Regents Fellows have taken much policy initiative.The Fellows would be paid as much as $189,000 in private money. $4.5 million had been raised, $1 million of which came from Dr. Tisch, as the Times noted, “one of New York's wealthiest families.” (Again, as of 2011)<br /><br />Dr. King said that the Wireless Generation bid was a no-bid contract because the Race to the Top set a brief timetable and that Wireless Generation was already agreeable with New York City's data system.<br /><br />The short timetable excuse was a frequent bureaucratic strategy according to Dr. Saul Cohen (former Regent, formerly of Queens College): it was difficult for Regents to discuss agenda items because agenda items were posted late to the Internet. Dr. Tisch used the excuse that this was the practice because of short-staffing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
