DANCE

Choreographer Alvin Ailey has resigned his $80,000-a-year professorship at City University of New York following complaints that he paid others to teach his classes. Professors and former dance students at CUNY told the New York Post that Ailey paid other students from his Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater Company to teach his ballet and modern-dance courses. Distinguished professors at CUNY must spend some time teaching and the university forbids the use of surrogates, the newspaper said.
