NYU Star Faculty Live Unreal Lives of Luxury

“During Dr. Sexton’s tenure, N.Y.U. has earned a reputation for lavishly rewarding its star faculty members. It bought a $6.5 million Upper East Side apartment for the head of its medical center, and it paid more than $4 million to help a former Columbia law professor stay in her turreted Upper West Side home when she joined the N.Y.U. law faculty. It gave the dean of N.Y.U.’s law school a $5.7 million loan to buy an apartment.”
 — Turns out that perks for New York University’s star faculty are as ridiculous as the very worst fiction has suggested.
