TSU Reenacts Key Scenes From The Departed

Recently, someone noticed that Texas Southern University’s president Priscilla Slade was living la vida loca on the school’s dime. Slade was
dressed in Gucci, had a $17,800 couch and used a 25-place dinner set that cost $40,000 … using university money to dress, decorate and landscape her house, take spa treatments and exercise classes.
Slade elected not to use the “if mama’s happy, the family’s happy” defense; she agreed to refund the school and charges were dropped. The school’s CFO was not so lucky: Papa landed a ten-year prison sentence.
Now, in a stunning twist, we learn that the FBI had a rat at the school. Student activist Oliver Brown was being paid to spy and it was with his help that the corruption came to light. Most amazing of all? The rat is suing his alma mater for clamping down on his First Amendment rights. The right to snitch? That should totally be in the Constitution.
