[Retroit]

If he just would have applied for a grant to study strip clubs, he probably would have got it.

Drexel is a private university. They wouldn't necessarily be subject to audit regulations that state universities have to comply with.

As I understand it, they focus on engineering specialties and have a good reputation in those fields.

This guy's fraud is clearly an exception.

Well that's just wrong.

But how is this controversial?

Sounds like he has a bright future in finance...

This is almost as much fun as when the TV evangelist spends all the collection money on hookers, blow and fast cars.
