“Somewhat less routine was the news that none of the direct costs of the lawsuit would actually be borne by the university. The settlement amount and about $421,000 in legal fees were covered by Florida’s Emergency Management Fund. The remainder of the attorney fees—$1.3 million—were paid for by Seminole Boosters, an…

I am in South Florida where air conditioning is pretty much the state appliance. However, we also use ceiling and floor fans to minimize the A/C settings. So you were only half wrong.

That is not at all accurate. The cost problem is all colleges and universities not just state schools. The University of Florida has not seen a real budget cut in decades.

“But if they want to see conservative policies enacted with the goal of improving quality of life for women, they will eventually have to find a candidate they can support, not just one who they oppose.”

I don’t understand how piling on him this long after he passed away is anything but a grab for clicks/ratings. My heart goes out to his family who have to now deal with this.

Yes, because the school itself ignored the situation for as long as they could. An “open secret” and supervisors knowing about it and even warning students is not the same as an official action by Yale. By their inaction the school endorsed this creep’s activities.

I don’t recall commenting on the Second Amendment except to note that it probably did not kill anyone what with it being a piece of paper and all. In fact, if you look at my history I defend all the the rights delineated in the Bill of Rights. Recently that I said that I could no longer simply defend the Second…
