As an alumnus of UF and the Alligator, I was disappointed to learn ,40,000 of student money would be going to pay former U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales to speak at UF. What on Earth could he have to share with students? What valuable insights will he offer, given how little he remembers of his own tenure?
Why not have Britney Spears offer parenting tips? Or Vice President Dick Cheney hold a forum on gun safety? Forty thousand dollars is worth almost 6,000 hours of minimum-wage labor. I think there are better uses for those funds.
