The board of trustees is also on its way out.
It’s a start.

Now confirmed: A graduate student “despondent about his grades” kills his professor.
Clawbacks, UD has come to know, ‘ardly hever ‘appen (to quote Eliza Doolittle), but it’s fun to watch universities who could have danced all night with Bernard Madoff (Yeshiva U.) or Finn Caspersen (Harvard) studiously avoid looking at their dance card when the financial shit hits the fan.
Caspersen, who a few years ago committed suicide with the feds on his tail, was able to afford the largest contribution in the history of Harvard Law School by allegedly hiding in Liechtenstein a hundred million or so of the tax dollars he owed us.
As American taxpayers, we’re able to help struggling non-profits in not one but two ways: tax exemption and tax evasion. What a good feeling.
It’s even better to know that the next generation of Harvard-affiliated Caspersens features a son just arrested at LaGuardia Airport (Caspersens really don’t like facing up to consequences) for defrauding investors (including charities) of $95 million through fake investments.
Madoff’s father was also a white-collar criminal. These father and son white collar criminal stories are always touching. They always make UD think of those wonderful Philippe Patek watch ads.

Details of her life – spent with her sister, who “practiced law in her 90s, and died in 2014 at 103” – here.
THE MOTION OF THE WIND IN HANFORD
The motion of the wind in Hanford
Or of the ocean in Livingston
Or imperfections in the light
Through fluctuations in the grid…
The jittering of single atoms
Within mirrors
Or distant lightning storms…
Interferences beyond reckoning
In earth’s purest vacuum!
A trillionth as dense
As the atmosphere at sea
Yet somewhat undone by
Miniscule seismic tremors
Or passing cars
Or aeroplanes
Or wolves.

… George Washington University has now decided to revoke Bill Cosby’s honorary degree.
We can put a person on the moon, but we cannot figure out a way to revoke a medal.
In a July press conference, President Obama said he could not revoke the medal, which President George W. Bush awarded to Cosby in 2002. “There is no precedent for revoking the medal,” Obama said. “We don’t have the mechanism.”
But… Yes We Can. I just know we can.
For instance, here’s one possible mechanism which UD arrived at after hours of deep thought.
Send a letter from the President to Bill Cosby asking him to return the medal.
Maybe
I fucked up on
Those leftover debts
Funny
But here’s that rainy day
Here’s that rainy day
They told me about
And I laughed at the thought
That it might turn out this way
Where is that Ponzi scheme
That I used to love
After it brought their cash so near
Funny how fraud becomes
A cold rainy day
Funny
That rainy day is here
