Two top student government leaders at the University of Las Vegas are requesting Hillary Clinton return the "outrageous" $225,000 speaking fee she reportedly will receive for an upcoming speech at the school in October.
In a video circulated by the national Republican Party Friday, Elias Benjelloun, the UNLV student body president, and Daniel Waqar, the student government's public relations director, slammed the university's foundation for paying Clinton so much for the event.
"We really appreciate anybody who would come to raise money for the university. But anybody who's being paid $225,000 to come speak, we think that's a little bit outrageous. And we'd like Secretary Clinton — respectfully — to gracefully return the money to the university or the foundation," Waqar said on the Nevada political program "Ralston Reports."

If you were stupid enough to sign up for this, and I really am having trouble figuring out why you did this in the first place, You need to either cancel the event, or abide by the contract you signed.
Are you really this stupid TWICE? And you are part of a UNIVERSITY??????????
I won't need a reminder to tell my kids to avoid your institute of "higher" education!
Un. F-ing. Real!

Waqar, they need the money. Haven't you been reading the papers? Do you think hookers and booze are cheap?
