This is Sherry Lansing, movie mogul and Chair of UC Board of Regents. She also seems fine with allowing those responsible for the horrible decision to deploy the cops to remain employed. I think, the fact that these creeps have yet to ensure that their cops will NOT be using pepper spray in the future is grounds for our demands for resignation.
So, Katehi, Birgeneau, Yudof and now Lansing all need to go.

Tents Are Protected Speech
I've heard from a couple folks that if the Occupy Movement becomes associated with the symbol of a tent then tents become protected speech.
Well, who knows. I say we assume it's true.

Chancellor Katehi Admits UC Davis Is Unsafe For Students (Updated)
Watch from 13:42 for about a 45 seconds (it starts here* at 13:42 for your convenience). Go on. Watch it.
Did you watch it?
You heard her. She said the campus may be unsafe for some students because, as we have seen in the past, you never know if it (it? the protest, I guess, as a whole) will remain peaceful or if "students will get hurt." Did I get that quote right? Isn't that what she said at 14:14? I think so.
The students will get hurt. Not might. Will. And nobody else will get hurt. Just students. And why might those students get hurt? Because the police feel threatened.
Sorry. She's gotta go.
Update: * I forgot the link to the video that starts at 13:42. It's there now.

Quote Of The Day: Nathan Brown, Nontenured UC Davis Asst. Professor
Open Letter to Chancellor Linda P.B. KatehiRead the whole letter via the h/t Nathan Brown, (nontenured) Assistant Professor, UC Davis
Linda P.B. Katehi,
I am a junior faculty member at UC Davis. I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of English, and I teach in the Program in Critical Theory and in Science & Technology Studies. I have a strong record of research, teaching, and service. I am currently a Board Member of the Davis Faculty Association. I have also taken an active role in supporting the student movement to defend public education on our campus and throughout the UC system. In a word: I am the sort of young faculty member, like many of my colleagues, this campus needs. I am an asset to the University of California at Davis.
You are not.

Enough With The Police Brutality
I mean, seriously.
The next time they might not get their moment of peace. People are getting pissed, and hurt, and more pissed.
The chief says the
Who do you serve, cops?
