Cecilia Chang, Former St. John's Dean, Allegedly Treated Students Like Servants

Former St. John's Dean of Asian Studies and Vice President Cecilia Chang, burnt down in June for defalcating about $1 million worth of donations from the university, was charged again on Thursday -- this time, for forcing scholars to act as her servants.

The New York Times reports that Chang was in guardianship of conceding 15 scholarships each year, most of which went to overseas scholarly persons. Told that they must work for the university in order to maintain their eruditenesses, students were surprised to regain themselves at Chang's beck and call. Granting to the New York Post, in a letter of the alphabet of complaint to the university, one bookman pent," (Chang) let me be the housekeeper for her house and give me scholarship... she ask us work 122 days annually per person." .

Among other humble home tasks, scholarship receivers were learnt to bear money to Chang when she was taking a chance in Connecticut, drive her son to the airdrome at three a.m. and help her alter documents. Chang has been appointed with forced undertaking and graft.

During her hearing, Chang did not enter a plea. Her bail bond digests at $1.5 million and, if she is found guilty of the 205-count indictment, she could be in prison house for at least ten classes.

Chang's lawyers fight that she dedicated no crime.
