LSU is paying its previous football coach over $50 million NOT to coach there while likely guaranteeing Kiffin something approaching double that, all while having an academic hiring freeze and budget cuts across the board. What is the purpose of a university (rhetorical)?
SOURCES: Lane Kiffin is expected to accept LSU's offer to become the Tigers next head coach. Kiffin is set to meet with his Ole Miss team this morning at 9 AM CT. As we reported yesterday morning, LSU has been very confident it was going to land Kiffin. www.nytimes.com/athletic/684...

Oh, Gordon. Why??
There are probably things I’d less rather read, like a Larry Summers / Jed Rubenfeld / Alan Dershowitz coauthored piece on why it’s important for due process that the low-IQ girls not be able to take down important men, but this has to be pretty close to the bottom.

“What is new is the confluence of three trends:

The untethering of compensation from performance.
The amount of harm these figures are willing to inflict on society.
All three are rising to a dangerously high tide.

If you think that professors exist as repositories of knowledge that students ask for answers, you’re missing the entire point of a college education.
We’re here to teach students how to do research, how to analyze and argue, how to think for themselves — how to find the answers on their own.
