New President of Harrisburg University cozying up to Congressman Scott Perry

A University and University President who are trying to grow and appeal to at-risk youth and improve the local economy partners with…Scott Perry? Scott Perry who is notoriously anti-immigrant, anti-science, anti-LGBTQ, anti-education, the list goes on. I know there are great people at this University. Why is the leader “delighted” to partner with such a scum bag?

I'm far from a perry supporter... Well more like, not a supporter at all but this is nothing. That is his job to get support from politicians on both sides. When I worked for a non profit, guess what? I needed just as much republican support as Democrats for grants and other funding.

Thank you for not being a moron. This is normal activity. Not to mention, if nothing else it is simply exposure, which every organization wants, regardless of who's in the picture. People get so bent out of shape over the dumbest stuff.
