I can do the same at half the price
Here's enough of the article from The Chicago Tribune to make you puke; (Emphasis mine)
Student group paid $65,000 before scandal made news
A University of Illinois student group has agreed to pay $65,000 to bring disgraced former Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards to speak at campus this fall.
The Illini Union Board is financed with a $14-per-semester student fee that goes to several student groups. The board's lecture committee chooses one speaker each semester and decided on Edwards last spring, said board president Leslie Cornell, a U. of I. senior.
Cornell said she expects Edwards to speak about poverty in the United States.

Cavey as someone who works at a "Catholic" (?) College, I can assure you (sadly) that a large number of the college students know more than you on topics 1 & 5.
ReplyDeleteThat aside, I would think the $65,000 might be better spent truly helping the poor than lining the pockets of a thief who has robbed many a pocket in the name of helping the poor while only helping himself to more money & raising the cost of everything for the rest of us as a result.
(& if that last sentence sunds a wee bit harsh, sorry, I ment it to be a lot harsh.)

Wait that might hit them a little to close to home!

ReplyDeleteAs an alumna of U of I, I can tell you they have not received a cent from me since I graduated - because that next year (1990) the student government voted to change the name of the Columbus Day holiday to "People of Color Genocide Recognition and Remembrance Day" in the official school calendar book (a.k.a., the "I-Book" that we all bought for jotting down assignments and such).
And now that they've sidelined the Chief, well, let's just say NEVER will be sooner than the sound of a donation check ripping out of my book will be.
How about
