College gets ‘F’ for spending $210,000 on hawk statue

By Around the Web

(Fox News) New Jersey’s second-largest public university is spending $210,000 for a 17-foot tall bronze statue depicting the school’s red-tailed hawk mascot, and some students aren’t feeling the school spirit.

Montclair State University spokeswoman Suzanne Bronski told The Record newspaper about half the cost will be paid by mandatory student fees from the Student Government Association and the rest from university funds. But students, who pay $11,000 per year in tuition and fees, say the big purchase was bird-brained.
