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?"

How'd I miss this one?
It's even local.

From Georgetown University's student newspaper:


The executive accountability question [Georgetown, like GW, is, post-Ladner, setting up more accountability systems] is particularly significant for Georgetown following the 2003 discovery of extensive fraud by a high-level administrator at the Medical Center. In her August guilty plea, former accounting official Adriana Santamaria admitted that her theft, which went undetected for seven years, ultimately cost the university over $500,000.




I posted about GW's recent equivalent high-level theft, the Bedewi case, here.
