Is this a state university or a private institution?

You'd be surprised how much money speakers get at graduations and other events. Sometimes they donate the money back to the school or other charity.

Perhaps she did. It would look better.

So did Katie charge $110K to tell the graduates that capitalism is an oppressive,exploitative economic system that destroys all lives that it touches...except those of white,heterosexual,conservative males?

What a God-awful waste of money.
$100,000 for hearing blather you can hear for free each day on the boob tube.

I pity the fools who set up that pathetic deal.

She's not even worth $1.10 let alone $110,000. Waaaaaaaaay overpriced IMO!

Somehow,I think not.I mean,do you know difficult it is to live "comfortably" on the Upper West Side of Manhattan?

Just ask Howard Stern...or Yoko.They'll tell you.

I want to know why Katie is sooo greedy that $100,000 wasn't enough for her.

I was at Katie Curic's commencement speech(my graduation) and nothing was out of the line or political. Her speech was good and inspiring(especially to journalism majors) and if people didn't know she was a liberal anchor, nothing in that speech suggested she was.

And she referred to President Bush once, not to criticize him, but to reiterate a point he made at OSU -- the Internet is making the communication with people outside of the country easier, but making yourself distant from own neighbor.

This money is going under her mattress ... she's looking ahead a couple of months to when CBS gives her the axe, that's all.

LOL.

Well, in a capitalist system, she can ask for whatever the market will bear.

What ticks me off is if this is a state school, there sure as heck are better things it could've done with the money.

If the university's a private institution, I think they need to learn where money really comes from.

I would love to buy this 'witch' for what she's worth, and then sell her for what 'she' thinks 'she's' worth....

I wouldn't have to work or worry about money the rest of my life....

She must really think she's something....
