Subject: I love how everyone infers that celebrity is what we students want. It is quite the contrary. We want someone who can challenge and stimulate us with a speech that will give us fervor as we enter the real world. Fordham students are upset with the choice of John Sexton because a lot of students would have gone to NYU if they wanted to hear John Sexton speak. The heart of this matter is NOT spoiled kids looking for an autograph, but rather young men and women who have an identity in their school and who want the very best for their school. After a bit of research, I think John Sexton will give a lovely speech, but as my old baseball coach told me,"It's ok to be happy, but never be satisfied." I will not be satisfied until Fordham brings in the very best speakers around the country for the students to follow my graduating class.
In reply to: Ram'98 's message, "I have some questions: Did you hear personally from NYU students who are disappointed? Did you get it second-hand? Or are you just inferring it? If they are definitely disappointed, is it because she's not enough of a "celebrity?" Or is it because they think that having her is a tacit recognition that Princeton is superior to NYU? Would the President of Harvard be good enough for them? How about the Pope? Would Paris Hilton be better?" on Thu April 28, 2005 13:32:50
