The Indentured Educated Servant Class of St. John's University: Driving Dean Chang

Remember Dr. Chang?  She was the St. John's University Fundraiser that raised funds to gamble, shop and put her son through law school.  She was charged with grand larceny and forgery, consequently.

Well, she's baaaaaaaaaack and the story has become so much juicier.  We are all "educated indentured servants"--"They are trapped, and their choices are restricted by debt. Many recent graduates feel that they lack the freedom to pursue entrepreneurial endeavors, start families, stay at home with children, or choose lower paying jobs that may be a better fit. Financially, this puts them at a distinct disadvantage." Sound like you?  It should, because it's you and every other person browsing this article right now.

But, for Dr. Chang, some of the students at St. John's were actual servants--maids, cooks and chauffeurs.  Believe it or not, students that were on scholarship at St. John's were told that they had to complete work-study programs at Dr. Chang's home or they would lose their scholarships:

Many of those tasks were to help with Taiwanese dignitaries visiting Ms. Chang’s house, where she frequently entertained out-of-town guests for fund-raising purposes, Mr. Rubenstein [Dr. Chang's defense counsel] said.

“The fact that this is even a crime is shocking,” he said outside court. “Cooking a meal doesn’t sound at first blush like work-study, but wait till the trial. I’m not going to give you the defense now.”

According to the complaint, one student, identified only as CI1, “drove Chang to the hair salon, to restaurants and to the airport.”

“As a driver,” it adds, “CI1 was also responsible for taking out the garbage and shoveling snow at Chang’s residence.” 

This is our future folks.  Dr. Chang cut out the middle man, but we all wipe Sallie's ass every month.  She said, forget Sallie, come over and cook me dinner or you're screwed.

Sign of things to come? Maybe not, but is this story would be the first in Angel's Fables: Stories Designed to Teach the Educated a Lesson in Life.  Truth is much stranger than conjecture and hyperbole.
