‘”The Daily Orange” reported that, besides Dimon, Maya Angelou, Tina Fey and Bill Gates were some of the names on that list.’

Other names on the short list were Tony Blair and Michelle Obama.

While many of the students interviewed are acting like whiny crybabies, talking to some students who go there who know more gives you a better idea of what most students are objecting to.

I can understand not wanting to listen to someone to whom I owe money on my graduation day.

Ok, I hope so. I would want a public University that gets money from the feds giving the money back. It would just look bad.

The other issue is that they don’t really want to hear from someone who they are indebted to financially for their student loans.

So someone loaned them money in a free and open transaction, and that makes them the enemy? Maybe they'd prefer there were no student loan lenders?
