Hat tip Slate.com and Shirley
Daddy may have no idea, but I do. Here is more on that time Hillary Clinton came to speak at UCLA.

And keep in mind this woman is running all over the country making speeches and collecting 6-figure fees (all for the Clinton Global Initiative, of course)
The woman is not only running for president, she (like her) husband is a grifter.
No doubt UCLA will respond that this money comes from some sort of special fund set up by private donors and all that. But if the University of California is so hard up for money that they are pleading with the governor to increase the tax-payer bite for them and having to raise tuition again, perhaps those special funds could be used for better purposes like providing a quality education for serious subjects. Having a vainglorious politician come and receive some boffo award and spout her off-the-shelf BS to a college audience does little to advance education in my view.
Three hundred thousand to listen to Hillary Clinton? It's like spending a few thousand to attend a World Series game. I can watch it on TV for free.

I totally agree.
If all educational institutions agreed to limit speakers fees to a maximum of $10,000, we would get a bit of sanity on this front. I mean, that's more than I make in half a year. It ought to be enough for anyone for one night.
