University forgets door stop
DC Editorial Time! We need more input on the appointment of top officials! Because... umm... umm... well, we might care... after we leave in less than four years.
Koshland comes from a prominent Bay Area family, a well-known donor on campus. Did this play any roll in the decision?
Prior to her appointment, university officials announced a concerted effort to boost the percentage of female senior management, which was only at 13 percent last year. How important was gender in this process?
I hope so, and hopefully a lot. If the University rewards people who give it money, maybe more people will give it money. And we need money, more than we need a person "in charge of fusing the needs of professors with the facilities available on campus" who responds to the needs of students who don't really have many needs that need responding-to in this area. And if this saves UC from a lawsuit for gender discrimination, it's worth every cent.
I don't trust students with the administration of this campus. Just think of what would pass for "education." (1,2,3,4...)
