Former Gov. James E. McGreevey is teaching ethics, law and leadership at Kean University.
The nation's first openly gay governor earns $17,500 and has been an executive in residence at the university since Nov. 1.
When he was in office, McGreevey was often criticized for the appearance of ethical lapses.
"It seems to me, Jim McGreevey teaching law and ethics is a little bit like Doctor
Kevorkian teaching health maintenance," state Republican chairman Tom Wilson told the newspaper.
The job requires McGreevey to work up to 15 hours a week and helps the 49-year-old accrue credits in the state pension system.
McGreevey said everyone is entitled to their own perspective and he didn't pick Kean because of the retirement benefits.
"For a university like us to have the ability of a former governor — for what we pay him — it's an opportunity for our students we shouldn't miss," Kean President Dawood Farahi said.
