Naked person rocked at IVC

SPIES AMONG US?
According to this morning’s Inside Higher Ed (Big Argus Is Watching You), “The National Association of Scholars announced on Tuesday the launch of the Argus Project…to recruit volunteers to monitor college campuses nationwide. The volunteers, a mix of faculty members and private citizens, ‘have begun to look into whether that college conducts politicized teaching, requires ideological adherence, or sustains slights to conservative students,’ said the association’s announcement.”

Actually, I've been spied upon already. A certain well-known operative of the local "Republican Mafia" (The Schroeder-Fuentes crew) took my summer philosophy course a couple of summers ago just so he could see my indoctrination methods in the flesh. Unfortunately for him, I do not indoctrinate, I teach, and so he disappeared after a few weeks.

NAKED PERSON ROCKED AT IVC.
Meanwhile, over at our pal Marla Jo Fisher’s “College Life” blog, we read about how things went in a live drawing class at Irvine Valley College during yesterday's earthquake: You don’t want to be doing this during an earthquake. Evidently, the model will be getting a seatbelt soon.

POOR, POOR, PITIFUL GOO.
Marla has also posted a “list of 2007 ‘senior management’ group salaries” at UC Irvine. (See What did top bosses earn at University of California last year?)

For instance, Chancellor Michael Drake makes $387,091, and he gets to live in his house for free too.

I bet Raghu’s pissed. He only makes $300K (plus a free Mercedes to drive), poor fellow.
