CUNY targets double-$$ dippers

The City University of New York is cracking down on double-dippers — employees who are collecting both a public pension and a paycheck.

The CUNY board passed a resolution spelling out state law that prohibits retirees who are younger than 65 from earning more than $30,000 a year in taxpayer-funded salary unless they get a special waiver.

The move comes after The Post highlighted CUNY’s practice of hiring pension recipients and paying them through its affiliated Research Foundation, a move that skirts the state law.

Chief among the double-dippers is Marc Shaw (right), CUNY’s interim chief operating officer, who gets a $131,614 pension and a $250,000 salary from the Research Foundation.

Vincent Green, CUNY’s “integrity expert,” is pocketing a $91,000 pension and a $164,114 salary from the Research Foundation.

The new policy explicitly forbids such a practice to avoid the percep- tion that this “is done solely to circumvent the earning limi-limitation.”

The directive notes that requests for waivers bee “limited to those cases where no other alternative (such as hiring a new employee or training an ex-existing employee) is available.” vailable.”

The state inspector general is probing the double-dipping practices.
