NEW YORK — A former dean of St. John’s University who had been accused of stealing more than $1 million from the school was found dead in her home Tuesday morning from an apparent suicide, a person with knowledge of the matter said.
The dean, Cecilia Chang, was found inside her home in Queens, N.Y., said the person, who was not authorized to speak publicly about the episode. It was unclear how Chang died or who found her.

"shuttle cases of liquor to her room at the Foxwoods Resort Casino in Connecticut"..........nary a mention of the word "gambling"...........first a nun embezzling and now a dean. How many more instances of embezzlement linger out there that revolve around gambling addictions? And the media can't bring itself to even mention the word gambling (insisting on using the gambling industry's "gaming" formulation). For a liberal media, always on the side of the "little guy", its fascinating to witness the silence that abounds around the rape of "little guys" by the proliferation and ease of virtually unlimited access to gambling. I guess the concern for the "little guy" begins and ends at the point of a revenue stream and heedless as to how destructive is the generation of that revenue.
