How much would you pay to hide something embarrassing? At least $175,000 is what the University of California in Davis, California, has shelled out to companies to scrub the Internet of information about campus police pepper spraying students, according to the Sacramento Bee. In November 2011 campus police officers calmly pepper sprayed students seated during an Occupy movement protest. “I would say that it is common for an individual who might be applying for a job or an individual who has been wrongly maligned to go to a company like Reputation.Com, but for a public university that is funded through taxpayer funds, who has repeatedly stepped into a vast hole, it is surprising that they though this could be done without the light of day shining on the act,” said public affair consultant Doug Element to The Sacramento Bee.
