That speaking fee is outrageous. I can't believe universities throw money down the toilet inviting hack politicians to speak at functions when they could reduce tuition rates or hire more tenured professors rather than relying on adjunct profs.
I totally agree. Whatever these students gained from watching this speech, they could have got 99% of it from watching another Hillary Clinton speech on youtube. $300,000 in scholarship money could have changed lives for middle class UCLA students or gone to hire another professor or two. That's 100% on UCLA though.
With regard to Hillary Clinton, this is all blatant player hating.
