Gainesville, FL (LifeNews.com) -- Assisted suicide crusader Jack Kevorkian is headed to the University of Florida for an October 11 speaking engagement -- which will have the college pay him $50,000. But the event isn't going over well with students there, who are upset that state taxpayer dollars will be used to pay the convicted murderer.
Ashley Emans, a junior at the university, wrote more about the speaking engagement in an editorial on Town Hall.
She said that the student-run speaker's bureau called ACCENT sent Kevorkian the speaking offer shortly after his released from prison, where he served eight years of a 10-25 year prison sentence for the murder of a disabled patient.
"Kevorkian's UF stop will probably be his first paid public speaking engagement since his June 1 release from prison," Emans says and "his $50,000 honorarium is subsidized by taxpayer dollars."
