I think your right in that comment, Mark.

All the scandals in the UK - Banking, Parliament, etc - relate to relaxed standards, and a loss of moral standards.

This is just another example for an Institution which is still on the Gold Standard. But, a sometime jazzier persuader is trying to move them to a Brass Standard and make money at Berkeley's expense.

And don't you think that they might have done a little research by running this by the faculty and students first to gauge the reaction before doing a full rollout and then having to retract it? LOL.

Sam makes some sense. Izzy really does not. It looks like it came off of the reproductive biology pages.

The Sam figure I have one of, I got My Sam cause someone threw it into My yard, it's plastic and in pretty decent shape. But then I've been to the Olympics, even when it was in LA in 1984...
