So our university’s chancellor has finally been kicked out. This is the same person who was shocked to discover that “in China they, like, totally speak their own language and many of them don’t even speak English!”
For 3 years, we have been writing endless essay-type evaluations of this chancellor. My evaluations of her actually had bibliographies attached. And it wasn’t all in vain! The Board of Trustees heard us and kicked her out.
We can change things if we put our minds to the task. This is a victory for the good people.

Good! I hope she’s not failing upwards.

Chippewa Valley Technical College is the next destination. Better them than us, my friend. 🙂

It sounds like there are plenty of reasons to rejoice about this. But the remark about Chinese is a quotation/paraphrase from Steve Martin about French (“In France, they have a different word for everything!”), and could have been intended as a humorous reference.

The story about China that she told me was a longish one and it was delivered entirely in earnest. Look, this is a person who quotes nobody but Sheryl Sandberg everywhere she goes. This is also the person who tried to ban all books on campus and replace them with digital copies. I’m just not seeing much cultural sophistication in her.
