NYC’s public-schools system is now officially a $45 billion scandal factory

If its other failings weren’t maddening enough, now the $45 billion city Department of Education is hiring obvious psychos to work with kids and paying “principals” $200,000 to run nonexistent schools. Sayed Mohassib allegedly slaughtered jogger Katie Suarez near the Belt Parkway in Bath Beach Oct. 30; he claims he found himself sitting on a nearby bench, drenched in blood but with no knowledge of why. Scariest of all, he was then working as a substitute paraprofessional at PS 200, a position of trust and responsibility helping young children. Sayed Mohassib leaves the 62nd Precinct after being charged with murder on Saturday, Nov. 7, 2026. William Farrington for NY Post Chilling photos reveal disturbing tattoos, gun necklace on ex-cop turned school aide accused of killing NYC jogger Did anyone check his background?

Collections are coming for millions of student loans in default

A long-postponed reckoning could be coming soon for millions of student loan borrowers who are now faced with garnished wages and seized tax refunds as soon as next year. Since pandemic forbearance finally expired last year, more than 9 million borrowers already are in default, owing a collective $234 billion, and millions more are late in their payments. Those borrowers are likely to face severe collection measures such as wage garnishment and seizure of tax refunds next year. Such collections have been repeatedly paused, most recently this past January.

Eastchester, Putnam Valley, John Jay-East Fishkill win NY cheer titles

Three Section 1 teams won state championships at the New York State Public High School Athletic Association Game Day Cheer meet Nov. 8 at Hudson Valley Community College in Troy. In the competition, which was divided by enrollment, Putnam Valley won in Class C, Eastchester won in Class B and John Jay-East Fishkill won in Class A. The victory for Eastchester was their third consecutive state title - a first in the sport since its inception at the state championship level in 2023. The win for Putnam Valley was its second straight state title and third in four years. And John Jay-East Fishkill won its first state title and the first ever for a Dutchess County school. Cheer has two different competition seasons in New York. Game day cheer is for activities and routines - as is evident in the name - that happen on a game day. The other season is competitive cheerleading, more based on routines, which takes place in the winter, with state championships held in March in Binghamton. Eastchester, as it was in its other two state championships, is coached by Stephanie Leone. "What made this season so strong was our ability to evolve while maintaining

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.
