So… there’s always a a little bit of hell to pay when the legislature has a chance to chat one on one with the people who run perennial scandal magnets like Rutgers University.
Of course, like most seriously fucked up schools, Rutgers reflects a seriously fucked up state. This is the state that gave us the gone but not forgotten University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey. As one local columnist puts it:
[Stephen] Sweeney argues that scandals, including men’s former basketball coach Mike Rice penchant for hurling basketballs and epithets at players, have damaged the school’s reputation and “its ability to purse academic excellence.”
So [putting more political appointees on its board of trustees] would make sense.
Because nothing enhances a university’s academic reputation like a collection of Jersey pols.
You got your basic Scylla and Piscataway dilemma here… Jersey legislators… Jersey trustees…
