David Remnick, Editor of The New Yorker, Named Rutgers University’s Commencement Speaker

Snooki was booked as an entertainment act by a student group. Nothing to do with commencement. Irrelevant to this conversation.

I'm sure Condoleezza Rice appreciates your support.


Of course the fact that Rice withdrew and the other that the students choose and paid for Snooki out of student fees for a non-commencement speech are a few facts too many for the group that wants to turn the rest of the board into the CEsspool.

One thing can be said about the conservative mindset: if you don't fully agree with what they believe,you shouldn't be allowed to speak.
If another conservative doesn't support the cause, that person must be shunned.

I was a class officer at Rutgers many years ago. One of the jobs of the class officers is picking the commencement speaker. Or at least it was when I was an officer. It can be political. Who you can and can’t have. The brass at the school are definitely involved or push certain people depending on the

Yes then you should know the fact that she withdrew because when the triggered people didn‘t want her she did so with class as she did not want to be a distraction or part of that mess . Too bad students and parents that year did not get to hear her speak.

The classy thing to have done was to speak anyway.

The protesters would have faded with time or become a fabric of history.

Condi was fearful of the latter and it becoming a bad part of her legacy. It was pure self preservation.

No. You sound like a hater and just made this up.
 
Who? Sounds like RU is scraping the bottom of the barrel.
Yea, enough intelligent academics in high ranking positions to speak to our graduates. What happened to Snooki and Kim Kardashian!? You know, real influencers with good advice for our kids
