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

UD SALUTES…

…the students of the University of Wyoming. Disgusted by the state’s clear intention to continue prostituting itself to diploma mills, Wyoming’s student senate has decided it’s time for adults to step in:

The University of Wyoming Student Senate plans to lobby lawmakers to crack down on unaccredited private colleges in the state, saying those schools drag down the reputations of other Wyoming institutions.

Student senators unanimously approve a resolution this week supporting draft legislation that would require all colleges in the state to be either accredited or accepted as a candidate for accreditation. Student leaders also said they planned to attend a Nov. 2 meeting in Casper of the Legislature's Private School Licensing Task Force.
