@dr zhivago Shany was a Poli Sci PhD candidate, not a history one. Way to fact-check, Spec! His advisor basically changed the rules of the department behind his back and after the fact and threw him out under the pretense of “failing an exam” that he’d actually passed a month ago no problem. Then the university ran him through the ringer.
CU better get their asses together about that, or it’ll wind up on the front page of the New York Sun again. The guy deserves an actual hearing and some sort of compensation for having his life repeatedly upended.
@what about quick eye?
@hrmm since feeling is first

@Casey Who is Shany Mor? What is his back-story?
Whay to drop the ball, Spec. Who is ‘javonni judd’? I can tell they’re cool because they spell their name like e e cummings.
Fight the man! And capitalization!

@basically the controversy spouts from the fact that departments have more secrecy inand are more deceptive about grad/hiring policies than even our president and fisa/wiretapping.
its pretty ridiculous and some of these things need more transparency
@John A lovely myth, but not entirely true.

@Elsa Where will he be speaking?
@ummno Ahmadinejad’s a Nazi?
@re: nice dude, he’ll be speaking in the morning.
@nice I’m sure it’s a huge accident that they invited Ahmadinejad when every Jew on campus whose grandparents were tortured by the Nazis will be in a Rosh Hashana evening service.
@wtf? yeah, good idea, lisa anderson. let the protests begin.
