This is Ludacris. An NYC educrat who moonlights as a rapper is raking in an eye-watering $192,374 principal’s salary for not running a school, The Post has learned. Caleb Haraguchi-Combs was a vice principal in East Harlem when he was handpicked in January to become “project director” of the proposed Next Generation Technology High School . Caleb Haraguchi Combs is collecting a nearly $200,000 salary but not working at any city school. Caleb Haraguchi-Combs/LinkedIn The promotion came with a $50,000 raise to principal-level compensation. A project director of a planned school usually becomes the new school’s principal. But Haraguchi-Combs’ new school — a proposed FiDi institution focusing on artificial intelligence and computer tech — was never approved or opened. Schools Chancellor Kamar Samuels torpedoed the proposal in April after woke backlash over its merit-based admissions model and general fear of AI in schools. Mamdani vows ‘full review’ into how accused jogger-killer deemed too unstable for Marines, NYPD landed job at NYC public school Yet the windfall continued for Haraguchi-Combs, 33.

Students who grew up in Brooklyn apartments, on Long Island, in the Bronx, beside the Hudson River, and in Upstate cities traveled to Harvard and later became presidents, scientists, writers, actors, judges, and business leaders. Some are so strongly identified with New York that their college years in Massachusetts are easy to overlook.

TIME names the top colleges in New York

Columbia University and Cornell University ranked among the nation's best colleges in TIME Magazine's Best Colleges rankings, released last month. TIME partnered with data research firm Statista for its inaugural report of America’s Best Colleges of 2026-2027 , which ranked colleges that "excel at student outcomes, learning environment and attractiveness to students," according to the publication. Schools with historically strong STEM programs ranked high on the list, including the top two universities: Stanford University (No. 1), known for its startup culture and connection to Silicon Valley, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (No. 2), a patent powerhouse, according to TIME. New York's highest-ranked university, Columbia University in New York City, is best known for its Core Curriculum and strength in the humanities and social sciences, including its graduate programs in journalism, business, law and international affairs, according to Oriel Admissions. Cornell University in Ithaca is known for its focus on engineering, agriculture and life sciences, as well as hotel administration. Although Cornell, like Columbia, is an Ivy League school, some of its colleges are state-supported contract colleges , which offer lower tuition to New York residents. Other Cornell colleges are endowed and rely on private support, according to the university.
