Emerson College is investigating ties between its dean of enrollment and a student-loan company that reportedly paid him $1,500 a month to serve as a “government-relations liaison,” and the dean has been put on leave, according to The Boston Globe.
The payments to the dean, Daniel Pinch, were revealed on Thursday in a report released by Sen. Edward M. Kennedy. Mr. Pinch had a consulting contract from 2001 to 2003 with the company, Collegiate Funding Services Inc., now part of JPMorgan Chase & Company. —Lawrence Biemiller
