To be fair, Mathur does have his defenders

One might be under the impression that all "public comments" at SOCCCD board meetings that opine re Mr. Goo (aka Chancellor Raghu P. Mathur) are hostile to the fellow.

Not! Every now and again, Mathur's supporters among faculty and classified management show up to read a passionate statement in defense of the fellow.

Well, no, not passionate. But a defense.

Sort of. Check out the video below.

Bob Cosgrove is my new hero.

Sorry, but that's Ezra Pound. A little DtB humor for you.

I'm not saying EP wasn't gorgeous (circa 1920), or that he was a bad poet, but he did have some odd admirations.

Can we count on this as a weekly feature of DISSENT?

It will take the edge off the semester.

I was walking past SOMEONE's cubicle today and I heard the unmistakeable bassline of "You did a Raghu Thing"...

Helen does okay when she's reading that inspirational crap about leadership (didn't I see that on a poster somewhere?) but oh when she begins to try to speak on her own...jeez. Can someone say lack of parallelism?

I'll say it: "lack of parallelism."

Or, in other words, incoherence.

I'm popping popcorn while I wait!

Cosgrove sounds a little preachy. Is he an evangelist?
