#1 "she was named one of the most gifted writers of Arab origin under the age of 40"

Have you noticed that when the ball game is going slowly, the radio announcers regale us with statistics like "He has struck out more left-handed second basemen than any pitcher since 2005"?

From her website: "Adultery was the last Muslim taboo I hadn’t broken. When I finally did cheat, it helped me see that my marriage needed to end."

I think I've read enough.

#2 Does anyone know whether a 'gifted tenured Arab writer' can get a massive pay cut, say back to $50K? Because that seems to be the remedy here.

#7 I hold her to be more representative than "diverse."

#8 ...Fresno State's response is in welcome contrast to University of Missouri's a couple years ago - where they allowed the Usual Suspects to run rampant without so much as a whisper.

And took a 25% enrollment cut the following year.

Then there are those on the big sports channels who do this as their primary coverage.

The side by side with Ursala is uncanny.

She'd be on every "I decline because"
