It's NCAA National Championship night! You're managing a 522-unit Graduate Housing project and you want to put on an exciting evening for the residents. You don't have much budget, but a local restaurant has offered to cater your event at a GREAT discount! 

All is going well until a 33-year-old man discovers it will be Hooters providing the food and takes to social media.

Yes, UI graduate student Mitch Lingo, 33, who lives at Aspire, posted the handbill on a Facebook page for Aspire residents with the comment, “Keeping it classy here at Aspire.” 

Several students responded in disgust, and Lingo brought up his concerns with management.

Aspire community manager Travis Hotz told The Gazette it as a resident who suggested Hooters as a partner. “Not all of our events appeal to each and every resident,” Hotz said. “That’s why we hold multiple events. If they have a problem, we’ll listen to their concerns, but the reason we hold multiple events is that if they aren’t interested in one event, they can come to the next.”
