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?"

To My Fan Base:
UD Media Sightings

UD’s so overexposed lately in print and on the radio that her life skills/ public relations manager has admonished her about it. “You’re getting overexposed,” he said to her just this morning, as UD gazed at the Wednesday Washington Post Express (a shorter version of the paper, read mainly by commuters), which quoted her on the subject of student emails. “After this latest radio interview, I want you to cool it for awhile.”

The interview is on Boston public radio, and the program is Open Source with Christopher Lydon. UD will be one of three or four people (including Andrew Hacker) interviewed about the current state of American universities -- a subject prompted by the Summers resignation.

This Monday night, 7 - 8.
