Albany County Supreme Court judges heard the arguments regarding the case of Cathie Black whether or not the State Commissioner of Education David Steiner acted appropriately in his decision to grant the controversial waiver because she lacks a graduate degree and qualifications to be the NYC Chancellor.
In the New York Post today Kelly Munkwitz of the state attorney general's office said, "The commissioner interprets the regulation’s requirement for a master’s degree to be waivable — and the commissioner must have the discretion to look at it in context."
What about the procedures for asking for the waiver? The three lawsuits don't specifically address this issue whether the commissioner violated the steps set up in state education law to grant the waiver.
