Get a life! This guy is more of a Fordham person at heart than you are. Your logic and use of topics is completely flawed.. NYU is his job, Fordham is where he went to school for three of his degrees. Also, what does your class gift or Sept. 11th have to do with the University picking your speaker? I hope you mature quickly. Your class didn't sacrifice any more than other classes before you have. Is your class historic due to Sept 11th? Since I graduated in 2002, is my class any less significant because we were seniors when that happened? Your logic sucks! My heart hurts that you had to enjoy three more years of Fordham, while I had to walk past the ground zero area on my way to work. Suck up the 40 minutes of speech, try and take something from it and enjoy graduation. -- Fordham Rams Basketball Message Board

In reply to: Ram6it 's message, "As a present Fordham Senior, it is important for me to comment on this selection. As a college student in New York, I view NYU as our competition in terms of prestige and enrollment. I would prefer we not have a competing school's president as our keynote speaker. To me, it feels like we are bowing to NYU as a superior school. Our class has given at 36% with $3,000 dollars more than last years class. Our class is the class that while making an adjustment to living at college was subject to the terrorist attacks at the World Trade Center. It would have been a lot nicer if Fordham realized the generosity, sacrifice and historical importance of this class by rewarding them with someone of more notoriety as a keynote speaker. We have this gentleman from NYU and I am beside myself with disappointment." on Fri April 22, 2005 22:43:49
