This isn't the first time Ingraham has attacked vulnerable college students. When she was a student reporter at Dartmouth in the early '80s, she sent an undercover reporter to the Gay Students Association and printed everything the students said in the paper. She called them "sodomites" at the time though later apologized for her word choice.
Some things never change, as much as they should.
Update: After TripAdvisor and Nutrish both pulled their ads from Ingraham's program, the pundit issued the following apology.
