I’m sure Rutgers University did not want to fall into disrepute. So how can it happen? I read part of an article testerday, and then I posted this question . Then I saw April Fools’s as part of an article site but I didn’t have the time to chase it. April Fool’s joke does make sense, but I’m not sure

@bkcunningham The Q had been in editing by the way
Anyway Was it an April Fool’s day joke or not, I don’t know. The above link wasn’t loading for me that is why I wrote “try”. Here is another one but I don’t know if I should believe it.

That is crazy. I wonder how Toni Morrison felt when she heard Snooki was the speaker? That must make the parents of students at Rutgers University proud.

Didn’t she do some kind of wrestling thing? She has made some extra money after that crazy show.

@bkcunningham I mean isn’t the administration and everyone involved saying “there is no point in getting an education because you can make a ton of money being stupid morally bankrupt like Snooki and all the people involved in that kind of show”
Isn’t there a PR person a lawyer all kinds of people whose job it is to not appear as if they have zero credibilty? To not appear as though have lost their minds altogether? If that isn’t the definition of insanity I don’t know what is.

Yeah, it is pretty crazy. What is the world coming to? Man, I sound like my parents. LOL

Apparently the students wanted her, and it came from student support fees.

Of course, that wouldn’t stop me from demanding my money back….

@bolwerk They all lost their minds, whether it originated from the students, paid by the students or not.
