David Charlow
David Charlow (CC '85, BUS '92) is an allegedly corrupt former financial aid director at Columbia University. Charlow owns shares in a company called Education Lending Group. The group runs a service called Student Loan Xpress, which is classified as a preferred lender[1] at Columbia. This represents a clear conflict of interest for David Charlow.
Charlow was suspended and placed under investigation by the New York State Attorney General's office. In May 2007, shortly after Commencement, Charlow was fired.
Other financial aid directors at the University of Texas at Austin and the University of Southern California are involved in similar scandals.
Charlow had been a candidate to suceed Athletics Director John Reeves in 2004.
