No kidding...wait until the Fall, when they are out looking for a job, and they have to kiss this guy's as to get one...fantasy land is over...real world is now getting ramped up for all of them.

Hope they have some self-esteem, because no one is going to give it to them.

Not the ones I know.

This link gives you some information about why the students are objecting to him.

The other issue is that the students on the committee who reviewed the short list of speakers for commencement don’t recall seeing his name on it initially. They passed over selections like Tony Blair. To the students, it looks too much like he bought the invitation because of the financial contributions. The other issue is that they don’t really want to hear from someone who they are indebted to financially for their student loans.

When I can get hold of my SU contact student, I’ll see who else was on the short list.
