For context, the amount of state money Sasse spent on lavish receptions could have purchased whole-year meal plans for 241 UF students.

Lavish catering under ex-UF president: $38,610 sushi bar, holiday party that cost nearly $900 per person

The University of Florida’s then-president, Ben Sasse, dished out over $1.3 million on private catering for lavish dinners, football tailgates and extravagant social functions.

Lets talk in terms people care about. How many football scholarships did this cost?

It makes it so hard to work at uni - I don’t get sick leave coverage for someone to run the class if I’m sick. I have to do a recording. Yet I’m sure this man can take sick leave

The party of graft and corruption.

Ahhh the conservative guy

And an almost $8k liquor bill! Which I guess answers the question implied by the title of Sasse's book: Where is the vanishing American adult? Passed out under the sushi bar

I would be interested to know how many students during Sasse’s tenure at UF were dropped from classes and disenrolled due to an unpaid balance of, say, $1,000 or less. For context.
