Sep. 13th, 2007 11:47 amUCI UNHIRES LIBERAL LAW SCHOOL DEAN
The Chancellor thought the Regents would block it, so he said, and that the fight would somehow tarnish the new law school. Chancellor Drake, that's your job. You are supposed to argue with the Regents on behalf of UCI. What is it, exactly, that you DO here?
Also, UCI is not Orange County University. It is an internationally known research institution and member of a statewide University. It doesn't have to have a major in John Wayne or a Disneyland Institute. And don't let Donald Bren tell you what to do because he gave you $20 million and you named the law school after him. What's he gonna do, take it back?
Don't worry, Mr. Chemerinsky. We'll visit you on Sakhalin Island.
Bonus points: Chapman says they'll hire him in an instant. And not just Chapman, but the Chapman legal dean, who's a rightwinger and debates Chereminsky weekly on the radio. Oddly enough he'd very much enjoy having his debate opponent working in his office. Viva Chapman!

1. Do not describe produce as brown. There is a huge library of Lands' End colors for this exact purpose. The tomatoes themselves look fine. You could get away with calling them russet, or golden, or even tawny. Start over. Also: ew.
2. This is a university. It is, in fact, a university with a huge Asian and Asian-American presence. And this university is in a city with a large Chinese-American population; they're a dominant presence. Using ching-chong-chinaman "Confucius Say" jokes on a package of fortune cookies isn't just stupid or insensitive. It's suicidal.

It's far worse; I upload.
May. 4th, 2007 06:16 pmAt UC Irvine today. This sign is clearly hand-lettered by cheerful sorority girls or their functional equivalent. What kind of collaborationist Quisling would work so hard for the Mafia music business? Do I even want to know?
This is interesting. Michael Chabon was a student of my father's in the UCI MFA program more than 20 years ago. He's been a family friend since, and I also admire his writing.
In his website column this week he writes about the value of the program. He's given props to my dad before by name, many times, which was gratifying. This is more interesting. He talks about the phenomenon of being "a little shit" as he says he was, or more particularly a talented by self-absorbed young privileged man, and then being dumped into a group of peers who were talented and also different: older, more experienced, more mature, and more than half of them female.
Food for thought, especially on the topic of male literary misogyny. Oh, and I see it was published in Details, the magazine of little shits everywhere.

BUY STUFF FROM UC IRVINE
Feb. 9th, 2006 08:33 pmSalvage website has stuff the University is trying to unload. Good place to get an old van for $1000, a solid iron tank weight 1 ton for $1000, some USB cables, or a Coherent Enterprise Argon Ion Plasma Tube Laser! The last item almost works and is only $4500!
Latest hoot: The two docs who head up their Cardiology Division are neither board certified nor California licensed.

May require bugmenot to read. Short version:
The men who run UCI's cardiology program, Jagat Narula and Mani Vannan, have not been certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine either in internal medicine or in cardiology. Most cardiologists meet those prerequisites before setting up a practice.
In addition, neither Narula, the division chief, nor Vannan, the associate chief, have California medical licenses. They are among a small group of doctors who practice in the state under a legal provision intended to give universities flexibility in hiring professors temporarily. They are licensed in Pennsylvania.
