UWP Lecturers better links

[kimberly devlin]

dear all,
thank you all for input and links (the full letter--from scull et al--is one i still can't open, but i trust bill will be able to do so tomorrow). anyway, you may be right, rob and deborah, about either waiting a few days or not promoting media attention that will be misinterpreted.  and of course, not everyone understands irony.  all i think i'm wishing for is that the public has access to the fact that an elitist core still thinks some (or at least one) campus(es) of uc still considers itself "an ivory tower."  i don't think it's coincedental that one of the three campuses proposed to be "chopped" is the most ethnically diverse (uc riverside) and the other has the lowest average family income level (uc merced).  when academics go public/internet with these attitudes, the general public should know.  at least, someone please forward the scull letter and carole's response to it to the chronicle of higher education--i think that's an audience that will understand the problem.
unappeased by apologies,
kjd
