Lie, Said the Lying Liar, Lyingly
University officials are shocked that their innocent students would be used in investigative journalism:
"We are concerned that interns, college students, were placed in a position where they were dishonest about their roles and intentions," Terry King, dean of Kansas State's engineering school, said in a letter.
Now, I'm not even going to look. I'm going to go to Google here, and type in "Kansas State", and "site:www.badjocks.com".
Ah, here we go. Star player tries to run over parking attendant. Badjocks comments: "I suppose when you're the nation's leading rusher parking tickets just aren't that important to you. So you can understand why Kansas State running back Thomas Clayton may not have wanted to stick around when a university parking services employee phoned in for a wheel lock to be delivered to prevent the football star from leaving. Seems Mr. Clayton had a buttload of unpaid parking tickets and was about to receive one more when he decided not to stick around. According to the parking cop, Clayton tried to run him over as he left which is why he was arrested for aggravated battery. No one was hurt in the incident and Clayton remains free on bond."
I'm just guessing here, but I'll bet Mr. Clayton is not a very good student. In fact, I offer this open challenge to Mr. King - we get to ask Mr. Clayton three simple questions, like this:
- Name one of Isaac Newton's contributions to human knowledge.
- Tell us who Admiral Nelson was.
- Name one person who signed the Declaration of Independence.
So, Mr. King, kindly STFU about "being honest about roles and intentions." This guy Clayton has as much to do with the function of a University as a retarded mastiff. University football, one of your flagship products, is all about lying about roles and intentions.
Oh, and while you're at it, secure your fucking nuclear reactor before someone gets hurt.
Moron.
Thank you.

I sure hope they don't start checking in to honest representation in the Psych department, where a large number of studies depend on lying to research subjects. It's ok-traditionally- if you clear it up afterwards.
At UW, the gi-enormous sports program (the one that has the formerly mighty Huskies coughing up hairballs recently) generates very little revenue for the school, and often costs money. Certainly we've had a long string of scandals and fired coaches recently, some of whom receive salaries larger than entire academic departments.
I'm not against the programs as such- student athletes at UW generally get decent grades, and the students in my classes do pretty well- but the market intrusions tend to distort decision making to the detriment of the school at the institutional level. The program has to be vigorously insulated from outside market pressure.
