U. Iowa Paid MSNBC Host Joy Reid $55K to Speak on Campus “An Afternoon with Joy Reid” ..
I think I can speak for everyone when I ask… Why?
...
A contract signed by Reid and the University of Iowa outlines the financial terms of the agreement which includes the flat rate fee of $55,000, as well as deems the university liable for various other non-essential accommodations.
“In addition the Fee, [the University of Iowa] shall provide ground transportation via University Car Service and pay for first-class hotel accommodations, meals, and incidentals for Speaker and one other person.”
Reid is the host of The ReidOut on MSNBC where she frequently criticized conservative figures including Donald Trump. She also previously worked on the Barack presidential campaign in 2008.
Students were offered a maximum of two free tickets to attend “An Afternoon with Joy Reid” on Feb 19, last year, at the Hancher Auditorium. The event was organized by the University Lecture Committee (ULC) and sponsored by the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority.
The University of Iowa Lecture Committee claims it “aims to organize a series of prominent guest lecturers with the mission of enhancing the learning environment and providing unique and thought-provoking experiences for the UI community.”
The contract between Reid and the university was signed more than six months before the event, in September 2022. It also stipulated that COVID-19 precautions be implemented, with all related expenses covered by the University of Iowa.
She isn’t worth $0.55.
I’ll do it for half that.
Racist bitch on campus
The alma mater of Nile Kinnick disgraces itself.
She only fit to speak to a line of men’s toilets at a truck stop, for free.
Good to know that your tuition money is going to a speaker who will tell you that you are an irredeemable racist.
The University of Iowa academics is very far left. It’s not Berkeley, but closer than you might think.
it “aims to organize a series of prominent guest lecturers with the mission of enhancing the learning environment and providing unique and thought-provoking experiences for the UI community.”

The university used $55K of TAXPAYER money to have Joy Reid provide a “thought-provoking experience”. My only thought is “what the hell?”.
We have entirely too many parasites sucking the life out of our national economy.

A penny is too much.
And the Democrats still can’t understand why hard working people resent paying taxes to support such institutions.
Ha! I’ll do it for 60% off! It’s hard for me to ginger like and idiot like her, but for $22K I’ll give it a shot
**EIGHT** members??? LOL
They do have a ~3.5 GPA though. Majors?
This is how universities legally launder public money to leftist speakers.
When living in England I was a member of the Reading University Geology Club. We would get world renowned geology professors from Oxford and Cambridge to speak at the club. They received transportation, lodging, meals and all the beer they could drink after the lecture. It was club money and not public money that paid.
