Permalink Why Did Democrats Give Jack Lew a Pass?

On Wednesday, the Senate confirmed Jack Lew to be secretary of the Treasury, by a vote of 71 to 26... After serving in the Clinton Administration, Lew went to work at New York University. During his tenure as executive vice president for operations, from 2001 to 2006, the university came under scrutiny for making Citigroup the "preferred lender" for students, in exchange for getting a cut of loan revenue. After then-New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo started investigating these kickbacks, NYU returned $1.4 million to students and agreed to a $2 million settlement with the state. Lew's salary at NYU was more than $800,000--higher even than the university president's. When Lew left NYU in 2006 to work for Citigroup--yes, the same bank with which NYU had the preferred lender arrangement--the university gave him a $685,000 severance payment.
