Hold on there Tex. I asked you a question.
I realize that you'll cry and moan and try to ignore what you're really doing, but I'm going to once again point it out to the crowd how you DO NOT ANSWER questions posed to you as you insist others answer your questions.

YOU made certain claims.
And I want an answer questioning the basis of your claims...

Tell me alias, have you even set foot on a "university" in the first place?
Any first-hand source for the knowledge you claim?

Yes I have set foot on a university and my claims are this lezbo who was made the president.

Now, tell us how many openly known lezbos and homos run coporations in America.

And as such, your "claim" is easily disproven wrong...

Previous Appointments
Beginning in 1996, Chancellor Denton was Dean of the College of Engineering and Professor of Electrical Engineering at the University of Washington (UW), the first woman to hold such a position at an NRC-designated Research One university. She held academic appointments at the University of Massachusetts, the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zürich, and the University of Wisconsin– Madison, where she worked from 1987, leaving as professor in the Departments of Electrical & Computer Engineering and Chemistry to become dean at UW.

A Commitment to Diversity
Dr. Denton earned an international reputation for effective advocacy supporting access to science, math, and engineering opportunities for women and minorities. At each of her previous appointments and during her tenure at UW, she established and promoted programs that expanded access to these fields.

Rigas Award (1995); the ASEE George Westinghouse Award (1995); the W. M. Keck Foundation Engineering Teaching Excellence Award (1994); the Benjamin Smith Reynolds Teaching Award (University of Wisconsin, 1994); the Eta Kappa Nu C. Holmes MacDonald Distinguished Young Electrical Engineer National Teaching Award (1993); the American Society of Engineering Education AT&T Foundation Teaching Award (1991); the Kiekhofer Distinguished Teaching Award (University of Wisconsin, 1990); and the NSF Presidential Young Investigator Award (1987).

National and Regional Leadership Roles
Dr. Denton was a current member of the President's Committee to select recipients of the National Medal of Science, and the committee to select recipients of the A. T. Waterman Award sponsored by the National Science Foundation. She is a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the Association for Women in Science, and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. She was a member of the National Science Foundation Engineering Directorate Advisory Committee and a member of the Visiting Committee for the California Institute of Technology Division of Engineering and Applied Science. Formerly, she served as chair of the National Academy of Sciences/National Research Council (NAS/NRC) Board on Engineering Education. Among many other prestigious appointments, she was a member of the NRC Committee on Advanced Materials and Fabrication Methods for Microelectromechanical Systems and of MIT's Advisory Board for Initiatives to Diversify the Professoriate. Chancellor Denton was also a member of the Board of Directors of the Silicon Valley Leadership Group and the Board of Directors of Joint Venture Silicon Valley.

Education and Research Interests
The author of nearly 100 scholarly journal articles, book chapters, and conference papers, Chancellor Denton earned a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology; her doctoral thesis was titled, “Moisture Transport in Polyimide Films in Integrated Circuits.” MIT also awarded her three other degrees, including a Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering, the Electrical Engineering degree, and a Master of Science in Electrical Engineering. Her research was in microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) as an enabling technology, particularly in life sciences applications. She also worked in the arena of transformational change in higher education.

UCSC Chancellor Denton: Biography

She was thoroughly qualified for the post.
The reason you claim she wasn't is based SOLELY on your prejudice and ignorance. You know nothing about this woman except for the fact that she is lesbian and she got some perks for a signing bonus and she committed suicide. And regarding the suicide, you reveal your ugly prejudice in hoping there will be "copycats"...


I don't know.
Nobody keeps lists of crap like that.
I could ask you to show me a list of openly republican CEOs, and I'm betting you couldn't give me one.
I could ask you to show me a list of openly straight CEOs, and I'm wondering if you could show me an existing list.

Your request is a stupid side-track of the main issue.
Most people in this world JUST DO NOT CARE to keep track of stupid crap like this.

You don't know. I do. None. You know why? Because it's bad for business.

As for the suicide, she was obviously mentally ill. That makes her unqualified.

Alias, you simply cannot say such a thing! There ought be no shame for someone to discover that they are mentally ill, but to relinquish the mentally ill to suicidal, or to negate the mental health of someone who may have hit more anguish in their present life than anyone could handle without at the least, sinking to a thought or two of such a despondent and extreme act ...well, Alias, that is not a very responsible way to post.

You have no idea what others surfing the web and finding these forums, might go off and do with such a statement as you made.

I am sure that you can maintain your political persuasions and voice them without being so injurious and uncaring as that.

At least, I keep waiting for you to post nicer than that...

The woman was obviously mentally ill. Do mentally healthy people commit suicide? Since when in your world does telling the truth become mean or unjurious or uncaring? Maybe your perception of reality is a little unrealistic. Mentally stable people do not commit suicide.

Quote:

Do mentally healthy people commit suicide? Yes or no?

Yes, Alias. It is possible. It could be that something circumstantial became too horrendous and in a flash of a moment, with seemingly all hope gone, despair ( a very normal emotion in traumatic situations) could speak louder than reason. It happens.

We must be very diligent to write on the world wide web in ways that would never discount another's worth, health, or hope.

Alias, please pose your arguments on the board with real facts, not reckless and blanket statements.

Remember when you ran away
And I got on my knees
And begged you not to leave
Because I'd go berserk?
Well. . .

You left me anyhow
And then the days got worse and worse
And now you see I've gone
Completely out of my mind
And. . .

They're coming to take me away, HA HA
They're coming to take me away, HO HO HEE HEE HA HA
To the funny farm
Where life is beautiful all the time
And I'll be happy to see
Those nice, young men
In their clean, white coats
And they're coming to take me away, Ha-haaa!

You thought it was a joke
And so you laughed
You laughed when I had said
That losing you would make me flip my lid
Right. . .

You know you laughed, I heard you laugh
You laughed, you laughed and laughed
And then you left
But now you know I'm utterly mad!
And. . .

They're coming to take me away, HA HA
They're coming to take me away, HO HO HEE HEE HA HA
To the happy home
With trees and flowers and chirping birds
And basket weavers who sit and smile
And twiddle their thumbs and toes
And they're coming to take me away, Ha-haaa!

I cooked your food
I cleaned your house
And this is how you pay me back
For all my kind, unselfish loving deeds?!!
Hah. . .

Well you just wait
They'll find you yet
And when they do they'll
Put you in the ASPCA, you mangy mutt!
And. . .

They're coming to take me away, HA HA
They're coming to take me away, HO HO HEE HEE HA HA
To the funny farm
Where life is beautiful all the time
And I'll be happy to see
Those nice, young men
In their clean, white coats
And they're coming to take me away, Ha-haaa!

To the happy home
With trees and flowers and chirping birds
And basket weavers who sit and smile
And twiddle their thumbs and toes
And they're coming to take me away, Ha-haaa!

And I'll be happy to see
Those nice, young men
In their clean, white coats

Awww, Alias.

You got a soft spot in my heart.


Oh Dear

I had a really good quip, but I thought twice and decided not to post it. You find me fascinating and a challenge don't you! I'm used to it. Women find me irrisistable.
