HRC charges $225,000 fee to Univ. which just had to raise tuition 17%

21. Oh for crying out loud. The UNLV Foundation is a non-profit fundraising (editedx2)

organization. The monies are not (or better not be; by law) fungible. Hell, though it's not emphasized in the OP, "The university said private funds are being tapped to pay her speaking fee."

Has anyone replying ever been involved in university alumni and foundation activities. They raise money from the community and alumni and use the funds for operations and special events or weekly brown bags and so on. No, those monies don't go into the university's general fund other than paying for on campus space and resources.

The tuition raises are a completely different animal. Caused because the fuck-head repubs we've had running and destroying this state have been cutting state funds; the state has lost federal funds as the congressional repubs have been blocking every fucking thing and de-funding their own grandmothers.

Nevada state funds are down after a couple of decades of republicans running the government "like a business." It hasn't worked well.

By the way, the rj is the Las Vegas version of the oh-so-reliable dailymail. They backed bundy up to and until he embarrassed the crap out of them. They'll head back to that extreme as soon as the dust clears. If they head any further to the r/w, they'll be in fascist territory. In case you've forgotten, they were involved in the lawsuit against DU. In short, unreliable in their reporting is a compliment. The national enquirer is more reliable.

The next time anyone on this board wonders why we don't have a Democratic version of the millionaire/billionaire crowd to pit against the repub lucky-sperm club...look at the way we treat those who have managed to make a financial success. Anyone remember the OMG Al Gore lives in a mansion and flys all over the planet instead of saving energy while education people about saving energy!!!! What a hypocrite he is!!!

I'm sure he would have had quite the impact traveling by horse and row boat.

Hillary, Bill, and Chelsea should sell off all their assets and wear sack-cloth, begging on the streets so we can point out how we all "walk our talk" so we don't look like hypocrites. Al Gore needs a horse and a row boat.

While posting on the internet.


edit to add: I just noticed; the dailymail article in the OP conflates two separate articles from two different papers 3 weeks apart about 2 different events as though the one discussing the tuition hikes is part of the one discussing the speaking fees.

edit for clarity about UNLV Foundation the sponsoring organization that is using private funds to pay speaker's fees.
