"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?"

NEVADA UNIVERSITY SYSTEM REGENT'S
HEAD BITTEN OFF BY TIGER





RENO GAZETTE-JOURNAL
University Chancellor Calls for Sweeping Change
9/1/04
Lenita Powers



"Interim [Nevada state university system] Chancellor Jim Rogers has issued a scathing call for sweeping change at the top levels of Nevada's higher education system. ... Rogers characterized the [Nevada] Board of Regents as inefficient and crippled by infighting.

...Doug Hill, one of two regents who represent Reno on the 13-member board, said Wednesday that 'If [Rogers] is looking for efficiency in government, Nazi Germany under Hitler was extremely efficient. But our Founding Fathers did not set up the Republic to be efficient. ... [Rogers] is used to giving orders and everybody clicks their heels and says Yes, sir, and follows his commands.'"
