You are probably young and definitely without tenure, explaining perhaps your naive yet arrogant writing. You have probably recently received your doctorate and you are so full of yourself and your liberal leftist indoctrination that you can't see the obvious truths here. Thank God for more experienced administrators, who hopefully won't cower to the mobs (as Californians often do.)<br /><br /> 2. Secondly, your English background explains the fact that you are infinitely better spoken than almost all the Occupy-niks. However, like most English professors, you are enamoured of your own words.<br /><br /> 3.Now for a dose of the truth: The primary function of the Universsity and of the parents, students, and scholarship contributors, is to create a learning environment for the enrolled students. It is NOT the job of the University to coddle demonstrators, many of whom have come from out of town or out of state. Secondly, these clowns knew that they walked onto someone else's property and installed their toilets and tents. The fact that they pay taxes (and many of these professional occupiers live off of our tax contributions) gives them zero right to do what they did, and you know it, no matter how you play with your words.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-243675294290376991.post-73135987814747001122012-04-20T00:23:48.379-07:002012-04-20T00:23:48.379-07:00Yes, Katehi's incompetence has been shown beyo...Yes, Katehi's incompetence has been shown beyond any doubt. She was not hired at her salary level to make gross errors in judgment. She was hired for leadership, and she has proven that she lacks the very set of skills for which she collects her salary. Moreover, she has by now cost the university millions of dollars. There is no way to justify her continued appointment, we are way past the pretense of re-examining how we do things.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-243675294290376991.post-72780488134976372222012-04-20T00:17:56.654-07:002012-04-20T00:17:56.654-07:00You might want to re-read the report.

The Students who were protesting, on the other hand, had actually done the homework and WERE aware of what their legal rights were. And when you use the word "fringe," it refers to a small margin of outsiders. Since over 100,000 people signed a petition calling for Katehi's resignation, this is not an outside, marginalized group, it is a significant percentage of taxpayers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-243675294290376991.post-65275540259842829562012-04-15T09:14:27.874-07:002012-04-15T09:14:27.874-07:00.... except for the fact that THERE WAS NO LEGAL B....... except for the fact that THERE WAS NO LEGAL BASIS FOR THE POLICE ACTION. read the fucking report. nobody cares what your pig friends say.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-243675294290376991.post-81437515644354252592012-04-15T07:35:17.534-07:002012-04-15T07:35:17.534-07:00In looking at Justice Reynoso's biographic ske...In looking at Justice Reynoso's biographic sketch on Wiki I confirmed it used the word "recalled" to describe his removal from the bench by voters in 1986. A statewide campaign was mounted to remove him from the high court. It succeeded.<br /><br />The LEOs I've talked with believe people who refuse to disperse when ordered are violating the law. The officers' oath requires them to "enforce all laws without fear or favor." The administration's failure to support them only serves to anger them and encourages them to tear up the chain of command. UCPD officers have made it clear that they will enforce the criminal statutes regardless of what administration wants. Hence the charges in Berkeley.<br /><br />I support freedom of speech lawfully done. This is a concept alien to you folks. So I have no issue with "repression" in your case.

A threat to release an inmate from custody is "lynching."

By the way, the Judge was not re-elected during a normal general election period, a quarter-century ago. Two other justices also failed to be re-elected during that same cycle. There was no "recall." So the "several" LEOs who "point out" that Judge Reynoso was "recalled" are wrong. <br /><br />That's what happens, incidentally, when you deify police officers and treat their opinions as fact while dismissing anyone you disagree with as a "leftist."Chris, an employee at UC Davisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-243675294290376991.post-66796009400562552672012-04-13T16:04:07.442-07:002012-04-13T16:04:07.442-07:00On the other hand a very large segment of the publ...<em>On the other hand a very large segment of the public has no issue with what the UC police did.</em><br /><br />OOOOOHHHH THEY SHOULD HAVE A PETITION MAYBE THEY COULD GET 100,000+ PEOPLE TO SIGN IT<br /><br /><em>Comments I've seen from law enforcement officers around the state generally defend the use and condemn Reynoso and his committee as asses.</em><br /><br />NOOOOOOOOOO00OOO YOU DON'T SAY.

They see you as the lunatic fringe, ingrates who should be ejected from an university paid for by taxpayers.<br /><br />A close reading of the report reveals the administration legal misstep in removing the tents was one of timing because camping on campus is illegal if it is done overnight. So the police were sent in too soon. The report clearly states Lt. Pike expressed concern about the timing and his feeling officers were being sent into a no win situation. The chief failed to lead and her officers had to assume that role-they literally overruled her decisions.<br /><br />The use of pepper spray was questionable because of the use of a dispensar officers had not been trained on yet. Comments I've seen from law enforcement officers around the state generally defend the use and condemn Reynoso and his committee as asses. Several point out Reynoso was recalled as a Supreme Court justice because of his failure to apply legal precedent. They regard anything he says as next to worthless. They question the lack of a law enforcement rep on the group and believe any opinion is tainted with leftist bias.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-243675294290376991.post-49731782121992179292012-04-12T22:19:37.470-07:002012-04-12T22:19:37.470-07:00Thank you Professor Brown.

Katehi and the current Administration of UC Davis fall so below the bar and have heaped so much damage upon our University that it is unthinkable that she remain in her position. If anyone, in any place, failed so thoroughly as a leader as Katehi has, there is no possibility that they would remain in their position. I would rather see our "young students" experimenting with drugs and having sex than have to watch the sheer horror of them being brutally attacked and assaulted with military grade pepper spray by the very people who are being paid to look out for their welfare. Katehi is 100% responsible for what happened to our students. We are way past any kind of training session or review of what to do in the future. The ONLY appropriate remedy is the IMMEDIATE removal of Katehi by the UC Regents, and the honoring of the request of over 100,000 people from across the planet who want her gone.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-243675294290376991.post-15833694554635755712012-04-12T16:41:17.782-07:002012-04-12T16:41:17.782-07:00Well written.
