Re: [FairfieldLife] UC Davis chancellor Chemical Linda Katehi
Jim, I can't remember at this point which article claimed she was responsible for giving the cops permission to use the spray. But I do clearly remember the articles pointing out that she was trying to make it seem as though the students were holding her hostage right before she made her famous perp walk. Anyone in that frame of mind should not have responsibility for the well-being of thousands of students. Happy Thanksgiving also to you and yours.

There was a time in a universe far away where people had to be qualified to hold a position other than by quota.
[FairfieldLife] UC Davis chancellor Chemical Linda Katehi
"Here's the sordid back-story: Linda Katehi was born in Athens in 1954 and got her undergraduate degree at the famous Athens Polytechnic. She just happened to be the right age to be a student at the Polytechnic university on the very day, November 17, 1973, when the junta sent in tanks and soldiers to crush her fellow pro-democracy students. It was only after democracy was restored in 1974and Greek university campuses were turned into police-free "asylum zones"that Linda Katehi eventually moved to the USA, earning her PhD at UCLA. Earlier this year, Linda Katehi served on an "International Committee On Higher Education In Greece," along with a handful of American, European and Asian academics. The ostensible goal was to "reform" Greece's university system. The real problem, from the real powers behind the scenes (banksters and the EU), was how to get Greece under control as the austerity-screws tightened. It didn't take a genius to figure out that squeezing more money from Greece's beleaguered citizens would mean clamping down on Greece's democracy and doing something about those pesky Greek university students. And that meant taking away the universities' "amnesty" protection, in place for nearly four decades, so that no one, nowhere, would be safe from police truncheons, gas, or bullets. Thanks to the EU, bankers, and UC Davis chancellor Linda Katehi, university freedom for Greece's students has taken a huge, dark step backwards."
