‘[E]-mails show that board leaders obtained an estimate for 10 hours of “strategic communication consulting” at the cost of $7,500 (plus travel expenses).’

Trustees of the University of Virginia were mad to save university money by putting courses online and all, but when it came to their own personal grooming needs, no cost was too high. They cain’t talk good, so they were arranging to pay for ten A-FUCKING-MAZING hours (Each hour costs – what? – a thousand dollars? UD knows this is nothing by corporate lawyer standards… But think of it this way – Michael Jackson’s doctor – the one who’s in jail – was also paid around a thousand dollars an hour.) of speech therapy.

The University of Virginia visitors are truly visitors from another planet. Most people would be so staggered by that rate that the whole point of the exercise would be lost. They’d stand there mute, their mouth hanging open.
