Dr. Bernard Carroll, known as the "conscience of psychiatry," contributed to various blogs, including Margaret Soltan's University Diaries, for which he sometimes wrote limericks under the name Adam.

George Washington University English professor Margaret Soltan writes a blog called University Diaries, in which she decries the Twilight Zone-ish state our holy land’s institutes of higher ed find themselves in these days.

University Diaries. Hosted by Margaret Soltan, professor of English at George Washington University. Boy is she pissed — mostly about athletics and funding, the usual scandals — but also about distance learning and diploma mills. She likes poems too. And she sings.

Baltimore’s mayor is simply trying to show that she can run with the big dogs. Phony book sales are a time-honored way that special interests can pump money in politicians’ pockets.

I’ll see your U of Maryland med school corruption and raise you University of Southern California med school perversion. Along with the dean partying with teeekers because he was one, an SC OBGYN who sexually assaulted coeds for years, they now have Dr. Dennis Kelly. He was SC’s on campus doctor dealing with men’s sexual health issues. But his “practice” included adding to the health problems of gay students. A lawsuit filed in February alleges Kelly, among other things, raped several young men with various objects. As with the other two doctors, Kelly’s Crimes had been reported, but nothing was done by the BOT, nor their admin satraps.
Question is, are U of M/USC med schools deliberately trying to destroy themselves? Given my in laws over century long connections to SC, i know they were among the top ten unis for donations, much of it for medical research. All that’s at risk due to…..meth, hookers, and rapist protection??

charlie: As Bellow says in one of his novels, there’s nothing too rum to be true.
UMD has nothing on USC, which as you suggest is currently well into the realm of the surreal.
