Rudy v Rudy
Article Abstract:
A dispute on the running of New York schools has arisen between schools chancellor, Rudy Crew, and mayor, Rudy Giuliani. There are two unelected agencies involved in the school system, the Board of Education, with members appointed by New York politicians, and the School Construction Authority. Crew, appointed in 1996, has had some success in raising standards, but Giuliani seeks greater control of schools, and aims to launch a voucher system. New York state governor, Republican George Pataki, has meanwhile started to investigate possible corruption in the school system and is already examining the School Construction Authority.
