That's borderline disgusting. Unless this is a relatively common thing to do at universities? I didn't see any courses like that in the UC system. But why her? If they or other accredited universities have similar classes on Beatles Mania and/or other equally (or more) deserving artists, I won't be flabbergasted. But I find this a bit silly.
Reminds me of the cartoon Metalocalypse. The band Dethklok was so influential and revered by the world, they had Nathan Explosion (the frontman) Studies in universities.
