Interesting…when I was in school, the students were always riled up about the university spending money on athletics.
Geez, if they were going to be coming up with dumb reasons to move the stadium, you’d think they’d mention the cannon…
I googled the judge – USF law school. But it doesn’t mention her undergraduate work, which I find highly suspicious.
Students seem to be harder to rile up these days. But mostly, this project isn’t coming out of the university budget – it’s all funded through donations.
Yes, I saw that in your OP…but in my experience, the outrage was over funds being spent on something as frivolous as athletics, no matter where the funds came from. If I am remembering correctly, myalma mater raised funds for a new scoreboard when I was in school, and students were outraged that they got people to donate $1 million for it.
