where Janet goes the waft of Aqua Velva follows.

"They live again!"

An older friend of mine, a professor elsewhere in CaCa-land at the time, was tear-gassed by the state police on the orders of a certain ex-actor then governor named Reagan. Seemed the students on campus were getting uppity.

Don't tell me PR agencies can't rewrite history so well that an arch-nazi-conservative can't move on to bigger and better accomplishments.

They'll get her on nepotism, agreeing under the table to skip all the other stuff she shouldn't have done and they should've noticed to begin with. Phoo.

Re: is this a new twist on or corollary to

No, the phrase she uses of trying to "balance out" is absolute bullshit. They were in fact, trying to REMOVE all references.

Re: "Linda’s professional reputation"?

This.... ^^^ Well said and it sums it all up nicely. I'm just surprised that she got "paid leave" for 90 days but then, it is state college and not private. One can only hope that any cronies she has will NOT be on the review committee.

Re: "Linda’s professional reputation"?

"Using Uni funds for personal expenses that had nothing to do with your job & wouldn't pass the "sniff test" of anyone's ethics committee. Then paying a ludicrous sum of money to try & cover it up."

None of which she will be asked to pay back.

Nah her lawyer is hot garbage

>"This smacks of scapegoating and a rush to judgment driven purely by political optics, not the best interests of the university or the UC system as a whole," said Katehi's lawyer Melinda Guzman

Fsck that lawyer. Its one thing to defend your client but to try to do so by using the best interests of the students she didn't mind having tazed is beyond the pale (not to mention her client's long history of unethically putting her own interests before the institution). She also sucks at her job because she should be making people want to have sympathy for her client not dislike her more. In fact if she gets a damn dime from the university it says more about the %1 and the injustice system and how divorced from reality public sector jobs are than anything.

Re: Scapegoating?

"Assuming she couldn't manage the jackboot who pepper-sprayed the students"

People in authority who are bending rules are not about to try to rein in the police. It suits the police to have corrupt bosses. Look what happened to Andrew Mitchell when the Home Secretary decided to push back against the police federation.

>When will those in any form of authority ever learn?

Sadly in modern society it seems like self delusion is a bit of necessary job skill for being in authority.

When will those in any form of authority ever learn?

Never. They didn't bother paying attention in history class.

Re: Myopia

That's exactly the way it is. It's often called the "country club" effect.

Re: Myopia

At some universities, the nepotism is almost considered a perq. "We really want you to come work for us. So much so, we've even got a position open for your wife!" At both of the universities I've worked at, the nepotism is common enough, it's a standard office joke. I suspect it's just that no one really cares to police the issue, so it becomes an add-on crime once you've done something sufficiently nasty that they need to give you the boot.
