New WHYY column: Who Will Christie Choose to Replace Cerf?

Read it here:

Last week New Jersey Education Commissioner Christopher Cerf announced that he was leaving the Department of Education to head a new educational technology company called Amplify Insight, a unit of Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp.

Is Cerf joining Amplify in order to unethically profit from his Jersey connections as schools purchase technology necessary for new student assessments?

Here’s the full column.
