Arnold Klein, a professor in UCLA’s medical school. Where is he?
I’m getting this when I search for him on the university’s faculty site:

No Arnold.
Yet the man’s all over the news, as is his academic affiliation. He’s the guy who did all kind of shit with/for Michael Jackson… … drugs… babies… stuff. Is he not on the UCLA faculty?

Hoo boy, that facebook note you link to is a piece of work.
Here’s a UCLA press release about a chair named in his honor. It all sounds very Hollywood.

I’m glad you liked it, RJO. I agree it’s a real piece of work.
