"Salty." (Scott McLemee)
"Unvarnished." (Phi Beta Cons)
"Splendidly splenetic." (Culture Industry)
"Except for University Diaries, most academic blogs are tedious."

"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?"

An Ohio University Student
Looks Back on the Summer.



'Ohio University had a typical summer. There was a scandal that ended with an OU athletics administrator resigning and pleading guilty to stealing more than $31,000 in university funds. An anarchist parade marched through the streets of Athens and held up traffic, resulting in allegations of police brutality. The Board of Trustees gave OU President Roderick McDavis a glowing job evaluation despite recent surveys from both the faculty and students with the majority of both proclaiming they had no confidence in his leadership.

So, basically it was business as usual.'
