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.

‘Sociopaths’ Illegally Blow Safety Redesign Outside Greenpoint School

The newly redesigned low-traffic intersection in front of a Greenpoint school is mostly successful — except for some “sociopaths,” that is. That’s how one local activist referred to the drivers who still plow through the city Department of Transportation’s traffic diverter that, at least on paper and in plastic, prevents drivers from using Driggs Avenue as a neighborhood cut-through. The diverter is an increasingly common tool for reducing car traffic in residential communities, especially near schools like PS 110.

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.
