Former Brookdale President in Criminal Court
The Asbury Park Press is reporting that former Brookdale Community College President Peter Burnham is appearing before Judge Thomas Scully in Monmouth County Criminal Court this afternoon.
Burnham was suspended and then retired last year after Freeholder John Curley called for a review of Brookdale’s budget which lead to revelations of spending irregularities and lax oversight on the part of the college’s Board of Trustees. Burnham was charging Brookdale for expenses unrelated to the school and had a country club membership and tuition reimbursement for his children as part of his compensation. His salary was over $216,000. Additionally he was paid $39,000 for memberships, an $18,000 housing allowance and $27,000 for a vehicle.

oh oh
I’ll lay odds that Burnham is out of prison and on ISP before Christmas of 2013. He will NEVER serve a full two years in state prison.
