Debate Security Costs

Boca Raton's trying to charge FAU $24,550 for security costs at the presidential primary debate in January, which FAU is claiming we were never supposed to be charged for. That money's supposed to pay regular salary plus overtime for 59 cops who worked through the debate. That amount's worth 10 students' tuition for an entire semester; contrast that with 59 cops' salaries for a one-evening event.

FAU claims it won't be spending school money for the bill, though. In fact, we apparently don't plan on paying for it at all… Wonder how well that's going to work out, and if it's going to create tension between FAU and Boca Raton.

I think that money should be payed by the city, not FAU. If it does get payed by FAU then it better be from a private fund not from the srinking budget!!!!
