A Short History of the California State University, Fullerton Media Center

This blog ran a series of articles delving into an internal problem at a state university.  We were made aware of this problem late fall of 07 and began putting up articles a few months later in an attempt to pressure the university to take action.  It took a while but the university did come around (we are not sure why) and apparently resolved the issue.  The article that once appeared here has been taken down because we think it…

The Orange County Register, Letters To The Editor, Sept 19, 07

The Orange County Register Letters To The Editor, dated September 19, 2007, page Local 9, titled “UCI caves in Law school dean rehired”, and main point of this article is that the UCI chancellor caved in by reneging on his pulling back the offer of hiring Erwin Chemerinsky thus including another power liberal into the environment. This piece was well voicing of a passionate conservative viewpoint. Reading some of the sentences caused me to think that this person is drawing…

Law deans and their involvement in advocacy.

Law deans and their involvement in advocacy.

I would like to comment about an article found in the LA Times, California section, September 16, 2007. The article is found on the front page of that section of the newspaper. The article is titled “Law deans differ on ethics of advocacy”. In the article the reporters interviewed a number of high profile law deans to gain any consensus at to what degree a dean of a law school should become involved in exposing and promoting a viewpoint. The…

Chemerinsky might be rehired.

September 16, 2007 I finally got to read the Saturday LA Times, a day late, Septermber 16, 2007. It was reported on page one that UCU was “… reportedly working on deal to rehire Chemerinsky”. This is obviously good news for those who value a better life, a better environment, for southern California. The report goes on to reveal that the conservatives allegedly did indeed lead the movement against Chemerinsky and allegedly, more specifically, Republican political figures in California politics….
