Wait until you find out about sponsored college positions.

What in the deep-fried fuck is a "Taco Bell Distinguished Professor"? Who on earth would take such a title seriously? How embarassing for him.

Well it says underneath that "hospitality business management," so he could be teaching future managers or something.

Still sounds utterly ridiculous though. But then McDonald's has their own entire college where they teach nothing but McDonald's business management.

Also sponsored programs. E.g. "XYZ company provides the space/equipment and gets a pipeline of fresh recruits directly from the college."

I don't know if it's necessarily a bad thing, but it does seem a bit fraught.

I don’t know if it’s necessarily a bad thing,

Does it actually reduce the student's tuition?
