I would agree it seems a little high, but then its hard to know what the market is in these sorts of things, and what is covered in the price. So I am not outraged. In addition, it’s possible that there were students who wanted him to come and expose the cover ups. In that case I think $1500 is a bargain price to have him come and let students see him face to face.
The idea of the University is to prepare students to think critically. Students are there to make mistakes and learn in a controlled atmosphere. I would rather see $1500 spent there and have students streaming out saying what a nut, then have someone who never got the chance to make mistakes in school, appoint the nut to some high government post.
