Snooki Pulls In Bigger Fee than Toni Morrison

Toni Morrison and Snooki. Not a pair you often see together in print, right? Well, both women are on the front page of today’s Newark Star Ledger. Apparently, Rutgers booked Morrison for $30,000 to speak at the university’s commencement. The fee Snooki got for a pair of Q&A sessions last night? $32,000. Rutgers officials paid Morrison’s fee, while Snooki’s was paid for from a “mandatory student activity fees undergraduates must pay with their tuition.” The reality star may not have been booked for the commencement speech but she did offer up some advice: “Study hard, but party harder.”

Here’s how the two speakers stack up, according to the Ledger.
