Incredible. One of the notorious Koch brothers bought the right to approve new hires. At a public university no less.

A foundation bankrolled by Libertarian businessman Charles G. Koch has pledged $1.5 million for positions in Florida State University's economics department. In return, his representatives get to screen and sign off on any hires for a new program promoting "political economy and free enterprise."

 Of course it was a Florida school. Now it makes total sense.
