Hillary originally demanded $275K for a whole hour, when they said they couldn't come up with that much money, Chelsea agreed to make the appearance for her mother for only 65K but only long enough for them to sniff her butt and then leave.
This insanity in our public schools has to stop. That 65K could have put someone through all four years of that university but instead it was used as a "handout" to the Clintons

When the University of Missouri at Kansas City was looking for a celebrity speaker one of the names that came to mind was Hillary Rodham Clinton.That is so wrong in so many ways.
But when the former secretary of state’s representatives quoted a fee of $275,000, officials at the public university balked. “Yikes!” one e-mailed another.
So the school booked the next best option: her daughter, Chelsea.
The university paid $65,000 for Chelsea Clinton’s brief appearance, a demonstration of the celebrity appeal and marketability that the former and possibly second-time first daughter employs on behalf of her mother’s presidential campaign and family’s global charitable empire.
More than 500 pages of e-mails, contracts and other internal documents obtained by The Washington Post from the university under Missouri public record laws detail the school’s long courtship of the Clintons.
The schedule she negotiated called for her to speak for 10 minutes, participate in a 20-minute, moderated question-and-answer session and spend a half-hour posing for pictures with VIPs offstage.
