The pouf is mightier than the pen when it comes to speaking fees at New Jersey's largest university.
The Rutgers University Programming Association paid Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi of the reality TV show "Jersey Shore" $32,000 Thursday to dish on her hairstyle, fist pumps, as well as the GTL -- gym, tanning, laundry -— lifestyle.
Money for Polizzi's appearance came from the mandatory student activity fee. She was booked by a student-run entertainment organization.
College has become either unaffordable or a lifetime debt for a lot of people, so maybe this isn't such a bad thing, considering Snooki's advice to students: "Study hard, but party harder."
