UD is... "Salty." (Scott McLemee) "Unvarnished." (Phi Beta Cons) "Splendidly splenetic." (Culture Industry) "Except for University Diaries, most academic blogs are tedious." (Rate Your Students) "I think of Soltan as the Maureen Dowd of the blogosphere, except that Maureen Dowd is kind of a wrecking ball of a writer, and Soltan isn't. For the life of me, I can't figure out her politics, but she's pretty fabulous, so who gives a damn?" (Tenured Radical) |

Nonplussed Nicholas De Genova, Jacques Pluss -- UD can’t explain why her old school, the University of Chicago, seems to graduate so many extremists. She’s begun doing a little research, though, and while she’s found nothing illuminating so far on De Genova, she has found Pluss’s graduation photo, which may have something to tell us. She’ll keep working on this. |
