A position paper “On Better Teaching and Learning” was passed in March, focusing on shortcomings in the teaching fellows (TF) program. The UC has not spoken up on the issue since, and has not addressed the more important question of faculty teaching.

Once a top financier of warlord Aidid--Atto was captured just a week before the downing of the Black Hawks in 1993--he is the last independent warlord in Mogadishu, a testament to his ability to play both sides of the net.

...been entitled to spy. He was later convicted on kidnapping-related charges, but received a suspended sentence. That left him free to reinvent himself, which he did with a mix of cynicism and egotism he might have admired in any of his best agents. Always immaculately dressed and well-spoken, he became a minor public figure. In addition to his memoirs, he wrote a cookbook, Secrets of Russian Cooking, that compared the creativity and craftsmanship of cooking to that of spying. He was also a regular on chat shows and documentaries. He died in his sleep, prosperous and pleased with...
