Eliot Spitzer, who resigned as governor of New York amid a prostitution scandal in 2008, is teaching a political-science course this fall at City College of the City University of New York, according to LoHud.com, the Web site of The Journal News, a New York newspaper. The course, a three-hour class on law and public policy, meets once a week, and Mr. Spitzer, scion of a wealthy family that has given generously to the university, will be paid the going rate for adjuncts at CCNY — $98.43 an hour.

Great…the taxpayers are once again paying him a salary. How sad has this state become. CUNY should be ashamed.

His lecture on how “no one is above the law” should be quite interesting.

On the other hand, and this is clearly a different issue, if people are willing to give Michael Vick a second chance, then why not give Spitzer a second chance also?

Give him a break! If we disqualified all professors for adultery, colleges and universities would have a lot fewer professors….

“…will be paid the going rate for adjuncts at CCNY — $98.43 an hour.” Not all adjuncts. $98.43/hour is the top of the Adjunct Professor scale. See http://www.psc-cuny.org/adjunctpamphlet.htm#Pay_Schedules_&_Advances_

I agree that Spitzer should be able to teach. At least he had the guts to quit when faced with a long-drawn out political battle to weather the storm as governor. Perhaps he may have been thinking of the people of his state when he quit.
