Universities should realize that they don’t have to bring in the dregs just to have a speaker. Better a band concert to fill the time. What an embarrassment. But, then again, these university administrators will excuse hack 5th rate talks under cover of freedom of speech.
Goodwin has become, unfortunately, one of those godawful Inevitable People you just can't escape. PBS is one of the big offenders, bringing her in for gig after gig, even after her embarrassment over a plagiarism charge.
Other people so embarrassed, or exposed, disappear. Not Goodwin.
