The thing about Rutgers (as Newser already pointed out - see link below) is that a student committee (although financed by university funds) chose Snooki to speak. So yeah - I'm sure if they had the funds that they knew they could get a ton of students to come an event by having someone (albeit disastrous) like her. it's not like the Administration mistakenly thought she had a thread of integrity or academic importance. i didn't go to Rutgers, nor do I really care about the institution, but I do think that Cooper is leaving out a bit.
