This is fucking embarassing

Snooki gets $32K to talk 'GTL' on Rutgers campus - omg! news on Yahoo!

PISCATAWAY, N.J. - The pouf is mightier than the pen when it comes to speaking fees at New Jersey's largest university.

The Rutgers University Programming Association paid Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi of the reality TV show "Jersey Shore" $32,000 Thursday to dish on her hairstyle, fist pumps, as well as the GTL — gym, tanning, laundry — lifestyle.

That's $2,000 more than the $30,000 the university is paying Nobel-winning novelist Toni Morrison to deliver Rutgers' commencement address in May.

Money for Polizzi's appearance came from the mandatory student activity fee.

Freshman Adham Abdel-Raouf told The Star-Ledger of Newark he thought the price was a bargain given Snooki's popularity. Another freshman, Dan Oliveto, said it was a waste of money.

Snooki's advice to students: "Study hard, but party harder."

I don't know what's more embarrassing, that fact that people let her speak or the fact that she gets paid that much to speak.

The average Rutgers University undergraduate will pay $12,559 in tuition and fees this fall — nearly double the cost of attending the state university a decade ago — under a plan approved by the school’s board during a tense meeting in New Brunswick today.

The 4-percent hike was relatively low because the Legislature has capped tuition increases at New Jersey’s four-year public colleges in the new state budget. But the tuition increase, coupled with hikes in mandatory fees, will keep Rutgers among the most expensive state colleges in the country.

I don't know what's more embarrassing, that fact that people let her speak or the fact that she gets paid that much to speak.

What's more embarrassing is people are going to show up to listen to her.

Pathetic.

She looks like a little fucking gremlin. Granted, a rich fucking gremlin, but a beast nonetheless. Wonder is we put Snooki is a beast enough times SM will pop up on google when searched for

I don't begrudge anyone the amount of money they are able to convince somebody to pay them. Good for her.

People's tax dollars are used to subsidize Rutgers. Hence my issue with it. Paying a nobel prize winner, great. Paying an orange gremlin who is famous for being drunk, not so great.

That being said, Snooki is a beast

[Mr I]

There's something poetic about that though, all those university paid for types wanting a piece of a real person

What a sad day for Rutgers. She should pay Rutgers $32K to talk, even than i wouldn't attend.
