[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Aside from the sexism, this feels problematic coming from a university administrator who has overseen a sharp increase in fees. There is a not-so-subtle “just give me your money and don’t ask questions” message here from someone who has personally become wealthy off tuition paid by those same parents he is slamming on Mother’s Day. It feels a bit like he doesn’t want people to question where all the money is going, and is using over-the-top examples to prevent any reasonable questioning. How much does this guy earn? How much has Purdue tuition risen while he’s been in charge? What bonus structures does he benefit from?[/quote]
yes, the patronizing pat on the head: ok mommy, send us your kid, pay us $80k and don't ask questions. Just leave it us to us. And pretend backhanded mom love: bless you, even you crazies, we'll you our best, but move along little mommy. Happy Mother's Day! [b]A little too "why don't you just lay back an enjoy the ride." [/b]

[I]"So, bless all the moms, and dads, including those who go a little over the edge. 
[b]We’ll do our best to be responsive[/b]. 
But remember: When your kid graduated from high school, maybe it was time for you to graduate, too.
Happy Mother’s Day to all".[/I]
