A university press release from this afternoon states Jon Corzine, New Jersey governor from ‘06 to ‘10, former co-CEO of Goldman Sachs and today named chairman and CEO of brokerage MF Global, will lead a public lecture series on financial market regulation in the fall and teach a graduate course on state policy in the spring.

Note, this is the same former New Jersey governor who underhandedly called his opponent fat in a 2009 election ad:

An important guy in public service with i-banking experience and a smug sense of humor? If this isn’t a Woody Woo major’s wet dream, I seriously don’t know what is.
