Nonprofit big exits under cloud

The president of a nonprofit providing housing for New York college students has left under pressure from the state Attorney General’s Office, which is probing the group’s finances, The Post has learned.

Educational Housing Services ousted George Scott, whose 2010 salary and benefits totaled $718,032 even as his wife’s firm got a $2.9 million contract to provide the agency with Internet, phone and cable services.

EHS — which has 4,300 units in six buildings in Manhattan and Brooklyn — charges students above-market rents for low-end housing, The Post reported in February.

EHS said last month that Scott, who is in his 25th year with the agency, had retired.

A woman answering the phone at Scott’s house said he was in a hospital and hung up.
