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's University...

...already the most expensive in the world,
is now also the first to have broken the
$50,000 a year barrier.

Many readers have emailed to ask UD
what it's like to teach in the most expensive
university in the world. Here's a glimpse of
a typical day:



















You begin with the Golden Key
that opens the door to the Spiral Stairway...



























...which takes you to the Library

















where books are brought by staff as you lie abed.

Typical faculty office.
















Typical classroom.
