A friend we will call Regina shared this. It was an invitation to faculty at a university where Regina works. Food fanciers will enjoy a classic example of the putatively fancy but still shitty menu: "Tossed salad with three dressings, dinner rolls, sun-dried tomato crusted chicken breast, etc, sliced sweet potato with maple glaze," etc. It's better than what the kids get, but still a hearty fuck you served on a steam tray. Other folks besides the 'Fesser on the higher ed grind might enjoy the unfathomable condescension of a) having an event like this and b) inviting faculty. Finally, it is delightfully self-defeating, in that it would seem to teach this university's current faculty good enough table manners to flourish at a school that treats them with just a little bit more respect.
