CUNY selling luxe homes that house campus presidents amid pandemic - Carl Campanile, NY Post

CUNY is selling the posh digs that typically house campus presidents at Medgar Evers College in Brooklyn and the College of Staten Island — to generate millions of dollars in revenue amid the coronavirus pandemic, The Post has learned. CUNY had purchased a condo unit at 1 Hanson Place — in the iconic Williamsburgh Savings tower building near the Barclays Center in Downtown Brooklyn — for $1.5 million in 2010 as a perk to house the Medgar Evers College president, currently Rudy Crew, a former New York City schools chancellor.
