  1. Interesting interview with our new provost - you have to register and you get one free article before you pay. I've copied pasted the article below. He's guarded, but I'm cautiously optimistic that whatever path we embark on - and some sort of change is indeed inevitable - that it's not as dire as was directed (or implemented at UCLA). I don't think it's wrong to think that in many ways there is a loosening of trust in higher education in the public - certainly in some polarized circles, which I am less interested in fixing (because it can't be). And perhaps one does need to think about how to address this. But some things make my spider-sense tingle like : 'Academic freedom is a very robust right, but it’s not an unlimited right.'. Fair, but the bigger question is who defines and enforces the limits? I want to follow his advice, but it's hard to: 'My plea to everyone on campus is: Wait until we actually have something announced, and then we can have that discussion.'

  2. Agreed. But, man. It's a deal with the devil because as it states this doesn't mean he won't still swoop in with punitive measures if they don't like the way campus protests are handled, for instance. And yet me say, with Jewish friends who have current undergrads ensuring a safe space for people of all backgrounds is important. But one can't do that at the cost of peaceful expressions of free speech.
  3. It appears that the documents are labeled ‘draft’, and UCLA fought their release as it would jeopardize the negotiations (ya think?). Regardless I didn’t see this coming from UCLA, of all places.
  4. UCLA bent the knee. https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2025/10/trumps-ucla-deal-pay-us-1b-and-we-can-still-cut-your-grants-again/
  5. He'll play if he can pass the test. He needs to put the star in the star hole - not the hexagaon, the star hole. That's a very difficult test for many. Until he can do that, he's still on the protocol.
  6. Just looking for an underling to verbally abuse on the sideline.
  7. That’s a few times now that Nussmeier has just walked away from Kelly while he’s going on one of his long rants.
  8. I mean, last week they got to us rushing 2 so…
  9. If he can get an extra second and a half before some 300 pounder bears down on him it’s amazing how much better he plays.
  10. Not gonna lie, it kind of wasn’t except for the times that it was.
  11. Fuck you you festering pustule. You new here?
  12. Ok D. You’re up.
  13. Lebby. He, he’s not a smart man.
  14. All gas no brakes?
  15. Stone cold hands.
  16. I’m right here. Don’t meet to yell.
  17. Wingo giveth and taketh away.
  18. Best pass of the night.
  19. Or throw at the feet of a stationary WR lateral ina screen?
  20. Weisner would have broken left and recover the ball at his shoelaces.
