Perhaps worried that students are getting a little too husky, the University of Connecticut got a $239,241 grant for “a pilot study that will seek to decrease alcohol use by engaging sedentary, hazardous-drinking college students in an exercise program.” This presumably does not include playing quarters or beer pong. But the tax-funded effort to get college students off of their widening, booze-soaked butts doesn’t win a lot of points with critics.
No permanent jobs created.
