Nice.
This post has been removed. The people in the post have been cleared of all charges and it is unfair to them to keep the post up. I have apologized for writing on the matter before all the information was available and for my snarky tone. Albert and Adelphi deserved better from me.

why don't they have a law that prevents convicted drug dealers from working near children?
Posted by: jenny at January 18, 2006 02:16 PMI don't understand this: Why does the posting about the misuse of funds get seven responses and the posting about the director of a school having no degree on file and a public record of dealing drugs get only one response? Where is everybody now?

None of those accusations have been proven.

An apology
Blogs are generally snarky, sort-of biting and most commentary is quite off-the-cuff. I have been guilty of this on several occasions, I'm sure, but I want to apologize for one in particular.
I wrote about my alma mater, Adelphi Academy in Brooklyn, a couple of times. I took it as fact that financial shenanigans had been going on at the school and I kind of made fun of the accused, Albert Corhan. If I should've given anyone the benefit of the doubt, it's him. We were friendly enough in high school and I should've believed the best about him for this reason alone. I do want to note that my main reason for believing that something shady was happening with the funds allocated for alumni development is that there is minimal alumni development from Adelphi. There are no reunions or newsletters. There is limited contact from the school. All of this remains true. Still, that doesn't prove anything and I apologize to Albert and to the school for writing about unsubstantiated charges.
I note all this now because I understand the school is standing by Albert and to me that is indication that I had jumped to some wrong conclusions. I may be proven wrong again, if he is in fact convicted of any offense, but I hope that I'm not, I hope the charges are wrong and that no crimes have been committed. I love Adelphi and want to see it succeed. I'm sorry if anything I've written could ever get in the way of that.
