HA-HA. Suckers!!! They're using it to build more glorious buildings to name after Republicans and hire more pencil pushers that do little more than bog people down with more meetings, committees, and labyrinthine websites. Oh, and to make sure students are nearly 6 digits in debt when they get out of school. I remember balking at a $500 tuition bill when I was in school, now that won't buy you an annual parking pass for many of their campuses.
