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?"

Via Chris at Signifying Nothing...

...a powerful rebuke from Duke's provost to a Duke professor's letter (for said letter, which calls for the expulsion of the entire lacrosse team, scroll down to UD's update of the post titled "Getting Them to Talk").

Of course,UD being UD, the main rebuke she picks up on is purely stylistic. The provost knows how to write. The professor does not. The provost's succinct and literate letter puts the professor's to shame.
