A cop subdues a man on the CSI campus, in a photo reportedly taken yesterday.

​Yesterday we wrote of a developing incident at the College of Staten Island that, at first, had rumors of a shooting swirling among students and on Twitter. It turned out there was no shooting at all, as the school explained yesterday in a statement. As for what really happened -- an "off-duty member of the school's auxiliary service" (the Advance calls him a cafeteria porter) was caught smoking pot in a bathroom and was confronted by a cop who tried to arrest him. The man, whom the Post identifies as Cory Holmes, 39, ran to a parking lot, where he struggled with the police officer and, according to cops, tried to take the officer's gun. Holmes was subdued, handcuffed, went into cardiac arrest, and later died at Richmond University Medical Center.

​According to a tipster, there's a developing situation at the College of Staten Island. The Advance reports that police officers have roped off a building for "an active police investigation" -- the College's Office of Public Safety told us they were not at liberty to answer any questions, and DCPI told us that they have sent an officer to get information. People are tweeting that this may involve a shooting, though that is currently unconfirmed.

Sam Eshaghoff

​Sam Eshaghoff, a 19-year-old student at Emory University, has been busted as the alleged kingpin in an SAT cheating ring after apparently taking the test for at least six students from Great Neck North High School in Mineola, Long Island, making between $1,500 and $2,500 a pop. Which sounds sort of...smart? No, this is awful!

As Nassau County District Attorney Kathleen Rice put it, "Colleges look for the best and brightest students, yet these six defendants tried to cheat the system and may have kept honest and qualified students from getting into their dream school. These arrests should serve as a warning to those taking the SAT this Saturday that if you cheat, you can face serious criminal consequences."

​The New York Post is billing an "exclusive" this week about how Columbia University has systematically failed to report its drug-using student populace to police or prosecutors. The not-so-earth-shattering expose comes on the heels of last week's big frat house drug bust, which led to the arrests of 5 students. But it's actually a non-story because -- it turns out -- other city schools are just as bad, if not worse, at referring campus drug incidents to local authorities!

​This week, we met Columbia's Drug Dealer Frat Boys, and learned:

• The Street Price of Cocaine at Columbia University!
• The Street Prices of Ecstasy and LSD at Columbia University!
• and The Street Price of Marijuana at Columbia University!

So, what's next for the boys? And, more interestingly: Overall, how are the prices of drugs at Columbia University? Well...

​You know that big drug ring bust at Columbia that everyone's talking about? Where those five frat boys got caught selling $11,000 worth of pot, cocaine, ecstasy, and Adderall to undercover cops? (Oops.) Well now that they've been arrested and arraigned (and one of them has even been bailed out!), let's take a minute to learn more about our entrepreneurial little Ivy-educated leaders of tomorrow, shall we?

​It's High Times uptown these days, as five Columbia University students/fratboys were busted this week for selling all kinds of crazy drugs at school. Ivy League? More like High-vy League. Luckily, via Columbia's BWOG, understanding the numbers of the busts also gives us a chance to understand how much drugs cost at Columbia! It goes without saying, but The Village Voice, Village Voice Media, and Runnin' Scared do not endorse the illegal use or purchase of drugs, and no drugs were harmed purchased or used in the making of this blog post. So, how much does marijuana cost at Columbia University?More >>

The students are accused of peddling drugs (including cocaine, ecstasy, LSD, and pot) at campus dorms and frat houses, and one of their suppliers is charged with "plotting to kidnap a pair of rival cocaine traffickers."
