Quote:"We have always been in the business of making friends, and if you don't have friends, it's very difficult to raise money," Jackson said during a news conference before the ceremony. "Her department controls roughly 80% of Title IV monies, as well as grants. So why wouldn't we want to make friends?"
What a moron.
Considering what she's directly done to make student loan repayment more difficult and education in general more costly, it's a pretty crappy move by the university to invite her period. But then to give a billionaire who makes a good chunk of money off those students an honorary degree for the sake of increasing school coffers, that's a really bad decision.
