...open admissions college, firing Horovitz for lying about paper credentials is especially ludicrous. The ridiculousness of the situation is compounded considering the chancellor of the university knew Horovitz had no undergraduate degree, and granted special permission for him to enter the doctoral program.

When the Americans adopted the impeachment process, they made it plain that impeachment...

When the U.S. mined Haiphong in May 1972, Walton joined student protesters at U.C.L.A. and was arrested for helping to close down the university administration building. From the police van, Walton spotted U.C.L.A. Chancellor Charles Young and let fly a barrage of obscenities. Young immediately slapped Walton with a yearlong probation...
