Holy Shit!
"Some of those who knew her said the nearly constant criticism had taken a toll.
She had been recently ridiculed by area cartoonists. And on campus, she had been the target of many protests, students said, with protesters rallying against everything from employee wages at school to the workplace conditions in foreign countries where UC apparel is made.
She had called campus police a few times after protesters had camped out on the grounds around her house, said Santa Cruz City Councilman Mike Rotkin, a lecturer at the school."

'After one recent event in which students surrounded her car and performed a 5-minute play in support of workers and students of color, she seemed to grow increasingly paranoid, said Josh Sonnenfeld, a student organizer."

I know. It's also Pride in SF this weekend; Matt called me from there when he saw it on television.
I know there was a lot of pressure on her, and that a lot of people on campus weren't exactly fans of hers, but those are reasons people quit their jobs, not their lives. Which I suppose isn't true. I hate giving things up once I start them. I hate failing people. And of course, Steve thought he'd lost control...Sorry. It all comes back to that. I've even still been avoiding Weintana because I don't want to have to start the story from the beginning again...
Bryan and I were at a pub when we saw the Chancellor's photo on the news. It was too loud in the pub to hear so I looked up the news on my cell phone. What compells someone to jump 43 stories to their death...
A high bridge over water- maybe, but landing on a parking structure is just too much, even for me.
What compells a man to drive from Northridge to Yoesmite to drive his car over exactly the "right" cliff? Who still wants to do it after driving that far?
I kid you not, if any of you ever do this to me, just make it a murder suicide; I'm going with you.
The Amtrak ticket is $58.
Meet me at the Golden Gate Bridge. Bring your iPod.
Yes, I realize that was tasteless.
Wait, why my iPod of all things?
And I don't have $58. How sad is that?
And I really meant it about calling whenever you want to if you need.
