Forty-eight-year-old Shaunette Ruffin-Moody of Jersey City was being held Friday in the Hudson County Jail on $150,000 bail.
Ruffin-Moody had been suspended without pay from her job at New Jersey City University in Jersey City.
State Criminal Justice Director Stephen Taylor said Ruffin-Moody issued 80 unauthorized checks from the SGO's checking account to herself and her husband, forging the signature of an associate dean who was required to sign the checks.
Ruffin-Moody's attorney, Alan D. Bowman, did not immediately return a telephone message seeking comment.
