My glorious hour is quickly lost to email. Questions from students, questions from colleagues, questions from strangers, forms that need signatures and additions and approvals.

I'm meeting with a Ph.D. student. And then another. I eat a hasty lunch while we talk. We review ongoing projects, we rejoice over beautiful data, we puzzle over surprises. \u003cem>This is fun\u003c/em>. We analyze data and design new experiments. \u003cem>Did I print out that paper I need to review? Did I reschedule the pediatric dentist? \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>12 p.m\u003c/strong>. I'm teaching, lecturing, guiding, discussing.

I'm interrupted by an earnest student with a page full of questions. I remember why the relevant experiment is so cool, I explain with poetic mastery, with passion, with unmatched clarity. My eloquence is breathtaking, the scribbles on the whiteboard are a thing of beauty. The student is unmoved, remains confused. \u003cem>I like this student\u003c/em>. The second student is grumpy and indignant -- upset about a grade. The grade is appropriate. \u003cem>I do not like this student.\u003c/em> There is no third student. The grant report is \u003cem>not\u003c/em> due today. \u003cem>But what about the fellowship application? \u003c/em>I answer some emails.\u003cem> Was the little one supposed to take a favorite book to school today, or is that tomorrow? \u003c/em>I add the committee report to my to-do list.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>3 p.m\u003c/strong>. I'm meeting with a postdoctoral researcher in my lab. We discuss the peer reviews we've just received for a paper we submitted to an academic journal. Reviewer 1 is lovely; Reviewer 2 is sensible; Reviewer 3 is insane. (It's usually Reviewer 2 who is insane.) We devise a strategy to revise the paper, we check in on the other 2,000 projects we're trying to complete, we run out of time. \u003cem>I need to check the kids again for lice. Do we have a plan for dinner?\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>4 p.m\u003c/strong>. I ignore my escalating email and return to the paper I'm writing.

It's due tomorrow. \u003cem>Did we figure out a plan for dinner?\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>5 p.m\u003c/strong>. I retrieve two bouncy kids, joyful until they start bickering in the back seat of the car. \u003cem>I forgot to respond to that email.\u003c/em> They can't agree on a song to sing. \u003cem>I didn't post next week's readings to the course website.\u003c/em> Now they're best friends, enchanted by the wild turkeys we just spotted. We all sing \"Old MacDonald Had a Farm,\" the kids take turns choosing farm animals. \u003cem>I've figured out the right way to run that experiment — I should email my student tonight. \u003c/em>We arrive home. \u003cem>Is tonight a bath night?\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>6 p.m\u003c/strong>. My husband has cooked Mexican food. I eat bites between filling water cups, asking questions, advocating beans and broccoli. \u003cem>I should book my flight for that conference.\u003c/em> We talk about our days. \u003cem>Is it a bath night? \u003c/em>We negotiate dessert. \u003cem>Where's bunny?\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>7 p.m\u003c/strong>. It is a bath night. \u003cem>I'm ready to go to sleep. \u003c/em>We dry wet kids, find pajamas, brush, cuddle, read, sing, coax into bed. \u003cem>Where's bunny?\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>8 p.m\u003c/strong>. The kids are wakeful in bed. We find bunny; the little one is in raptures. We find teddy; the older one is appeased. I keep my ears to the ground as we collect laundry, clear dishes, prep lunches, clean floors, find the little one's favorite book to take to school tomorrow. \u003cem>Can I sleep yet? \u003c/em>The little one needs to pee; her sister wants more water.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>9 p.m\u003c/strong>.

We're doing something terribly important, but I've forgotten what it is. \u003cem>I should review my lecture slides. \u003c/em>We make a little progress. \u003cem>Did I RSVP for the birthday party on Saturday? \u003c/em>I agree to write up part of a report.\u003cem> I need to buy a good present for a 6-year-old.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>11 a.m\u003c/strong>. I'm meeting with a Ph.D. student. And then another. I eat a hasty lunch while we talk. We review ongoing projects, we rejoice over beautiful data, we puzzle over surprises. \u003cem>This is fun\u003c/em>. We analyze data and design new experiments. \u003cem>Did I print out that paper I need to review? Did I reschedule the pediatric dentist? \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>12 p.m\u003c/strong>. I'm teaching, lecturing, guiding, discussing. From the front of the class I can pretend rapt attention, a sea of engaged learners. (From the back I would see the screens on social media, the barely concealed smartphones.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>1 p.m\u003c/strong>. Still teaching. I finish my lecture. I finish discussion. The class is dismissed. My phone vibrates. \u003cem>Panic\u003c/em>. Not one of the kids' schools. \u003cem>Relief\u003c/em>. I let it go to voicemail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>2 p.m\u003c/strong>. Office hours for my undergraduate lecture course. I settle into some writing. I'm interrupted by an earnest student with a page full of questions. I remember why the relevant experiment is so cool, I explain with poetic mastery, with passion, with unmatched clarity. My eloquence is breathtaking, the scribbles on the whiteboard are a thing of beauty. The student is unmoved, remains confused. \u003cem>I like this student\u003c/em>. The second student is grumpy and indignant -- upset about a grade. The grade is appropriate. \u003cem>I do not like this student.\u003c/em> There is no third student. The grant report is \u003cem>not\u003c/em> due today. \u003cem>But what about the fellowship application? \u003c/em>I answer some emails.\u003cem> Was the little one supposed to take a favorite book to school today, or is that tomorrow? \u003c/em>I add the committee report to my to-do list.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>3 p.m\u003c/strong>. I'm meeting with a postdoctoral researcher in my lab. We discuss the peer reviews we've just received for a paper we submitted to an academic journal. Reviewer 1 is lovely; Reviewer 2 is sensible; Reviewer 3 is insane. (It's usually Reviewer 2 who is insane.) We devise a strategy to revise the paper, we check in on the other 2,000 projects we're trying to complete, we run out of time. \u003cem>I need to check the kids again for lice. Do we have a plan for dinner?\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>4 p.m\u003c/strong>. I ignore my escalating email and return to the paper I'm writing. Forty-five splendid minutes speed by; it's time to pick up the kids. I didn't write the fellowship application. It's due tomorrow. \u003cem>Did we figure out a plan for dinner?\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>5 p.m\u003c/strong>. I retrieve two bouncy kids, joyful until they start bickering in the back seat of the car. \u003cem>I forgot to respond to that email.\u003c/em> They can't agree on a song to sing. \u003cem>I didn't post next week's readings to the course website.\u003c/em> Now they're best friends, enchanted by the wild turkeys we just spotted. We all sing \"Old MacDonald Had a Farm,\" the kids take turns choosing farm animals. \u003cem>I've figured out the right way to run that experiment — I should email my student tonight. \u003c/em>We arrive home. \u003cem>Is tonight a bath night?\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>6 p.m\u003c/strong>. My husband has cooked Mexican food. I eat bites between filling water cups, asking questions, advocating beans and broccoli. \u003cem>I should book my flight for that conference.\u003c/em> We talk about our days. \u003cem>Is it a bath night? \u003c/em>We negotiate dessert. \u003cem>Where's bunny?\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>7 p.m\u003c/strong>. It is a bath night. \u003cem>I'm ready to go to sleep. \u003c/em>We dry wet kids, find pajamas, brush, cuddle, read, sing, coax into bed. \u003cem>Where's bunny?\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>8 p.m\u003c/strong>. The kids are wakeful in bed. We find bunny; the little one is in raptures. We find teddy; the older one is appeased. I keep my ears to the ground as we collect laundry, clear dishes, prep lunches, clean floors, find the little one's favorite book to take to school tomorrow. \u003cem>Can I sleep yet? \u003c/em>The little one needs to pee; her sister wants more water.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>9 p.m\u003c/strong>. The kids are finally asleep. I email my student the experiment idea. I book my conference travel. I open the document with the paper I'm working on. \u003cem>Can I sleep yet\u003c/em>? I close it again. \u003cem>We didn't check the kids for lice. \u003c/em>I update my to-do list. \u003cem>I need to write that committee report. \u003c/em>I get ready for bed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>10 p.m\u003c/strong>.

From Dirks' letter:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Mr. Yiannopoulos is not the first of his ilk to speak at Berkeley and he will not be the last. In our view, Mr. Yiannopoulos is a troll and provocateur who uses odious behavior in part to “entertain,” but also to deflect any serious engagement with ideas. He has been widely and rightly condemned for engaging in hate speech directed at a wide range of groups and individuals, as well as for disparaging and ridiculing individual audience members, particularly members of the LGBTQ community. Mr. Yiannopoulos’s opinions and behavior can elicit strong reactions and his attacks can be extremely hurtful and disturbing. Although we urge anyone who is concerned about being targeted by Mr. Yiannopoulos to consider whether there is any value in attending this event, we stand ready to provide resources and support to our community members who may be adversely affected by his words and actions on the stage (we will provide more detail about these resources in a subsequent message).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since the announcement of Mr. Yiannopoulos’s visit, we have received many requests that we ban him from campus and cancel the event. Although we have responded to these requests directly, we would like to explain to the entire campus community why the event will be held as planned. First, from a legal perspective, the U.S. Constitution prohibits UC Berkeley, as a public institution, from banning expression based on its content or viewpoints, even when those viewpoints are hateful or discriminatory. Longstanding campus policy permits registered student organizations to invite speakers to campus and to make free use of meeting space in the Student Union for that purpose. As mentioned, the BCR is the host of this event, and therefore it is only they who have the authority to disinvite Mr. Yiannopoulos. Consistent with the dictates of the First Amendment as uniformly and decisively interpreted by the courts, the university cannot censor or prohibit events, or charge differential fees. Some have asked us whether attacks on individuals are also protected. In fact, critical statements and even the demeaning ridicule of individuals are largely protected by the Constitution; in this case, Yiannopoulos’s past words and deeds do not justify prior restraint on his freedom of expression or the cancellation of the event.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Bert Johnson, Sukey Lewis, Ana Tintocalis and The Associated Press contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

From Dirks' letter:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Mr. Yiannopoulos is not the first of his ilk to speak at Berkeley and he will not be the last. In our view, Mr. Yiannopoulos is a troll and provocateur who uses odious behavior in part to “entertain,” but also to deflect any serious engagement with ideas. He has been widely and rightly condemned for engaging in hate speech directed at a wide range of groups and individuals, as well as for disparaging and ridiculing individual audience members, particularly members of the LGBTQ community. Mr. Yiannopoulos’s opinions and behavior can elicit strong reactions and his attacks can be extremely hurtful and disturbing. Although we urge anyone who is concerned about being targeted by Mr. Yiannopoulos to consider whether there is any value in attending this event, we stand ready to provide resources and support to our community members who may be adversely affected by his words and actions on the stage (we will provide more detail about these resources in a subsequent message).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since the announcement of Mr. Yiannopoulos’s visit, we have received many requests that we ban him from campus and cancel the event. Although we have responded to these requests directly, we would like to explain to the entire campus community why the event will be held as planned. First, from a legal perspective, the U.S. Constitution prohibits UC Berkeley, as a public institution, from banning expression based on its content or viewpoints, even when those viewpoints are hateful or discriminatory. Longstanding campus policy permits registered student organizations to invite speakers to campus and to make free use of meeting space in the Student Union for that purpose. As mentioned, the BCR is the host of this event, and therefore it is only they who have the authority to disinvite Mr. Yiannopoulos. Consistent with the dictates of the First Amendment as uniformly and decisively interpreted by the courts, the university cannot censor or prohibit events, or charge differential fees. Some have asked us whether attacks on individuals are also protected. In fact, critical statements and even the demeaning ridicule of individuals are largely protected by the Constitution; in this case, Yiannopoulos’s past words and deeds do not justify prior restraint on his freedom of expression or the cancellation of the event.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

It has been a great honor to serve as the 10th Chancellor of Berkeley, and I am proud of all we have accomplished. Over the summer I have come to the personal decision that the time is right for me to step aside and allow someone else to take up the financial and institutional challenges ahead of us.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I am especially proud of the work we have done to enhance the undergraduate experience at Berkeley, as we have launched curricular and programmatic initiatives in data science and arts and design, and begun to re-evaluate the whole student experience, including residential and extracurricular life as well as our academic structures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The research done at Berkeley is second to none, and it has been exhilarating to learn about the breadth and depth of the research our faculty conducts across every discipline and field. I have worked with colleagues to develop new forms of support for cross-disciplinary research, new modes of connection between research and innovation outside the university, and new ideas to ensure that Berkeley’s future contributions to knowledge will be even more impressive and important in the years ahead. I am especially excited about the ways in which our partnership with UCSF has expanded in recent years and will provide a foundation for even more robust support for, and activity in, the bio-medical sciences. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I have also been pleased to work with colleagues in developing new global initiatives for our university, creating significant alliances for research, new educational partnerships and programs, and ideas for new forms of global institutional collaboration. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We have also worked hard to increase and improve philanthropy for Berkeley, a source of funding that will be ever more critical to our continued success as a university in the years ahead. Building on the great success of the “Campaign for Berkeley,” we have posted records in fundraising for the last two years in a row ($462 M and $479 M respectively). Meanwhile we are in the final stages of completing and implementing a new development structure we call Fundraising 2.0, which will enable far better coordination across our many units while more fully leveraging our alumni and donor base. We have also been working to build and strengthen our alumni relations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During my time at Berkeley we have begun to address growing concerns around sexual assault, violence, and harassment on campus, investing significant resources not only in our Title IX office, but in identifying new campus leadership, as well as better organized structures, procedures, and standards for prevention, care and advocacy, investigation and adjudication, sanctions, and community awareness and resolve. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I have worked to increase the diversity of the senior administration, and consider the challenge of addressing issues of diversity across our administration, our faculty, our staff, and our student body, and continuing the work to improve our campus climate for all of constituencies regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, or sexual identity, as of paramount importance for our community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I am also proud of what we have done through an earlier task force to ensure that our student athletes have the kind of support they need not only to excel in their chosen sports but in the classroom. In the months ahead, I will work with the second task force on our athletic programs, this one to propose new ways to ensure a sound financial future for the athletic department in the larger context of our budgetary challenges. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Our most critical task now is to ensure a sustainable financial foundation for our university at a time of significantly diminished support from the state. While we have made important progress, substantially reducing our deficit for the coming year, and developing a plan to balance the budget over the subsequent two to three years, there remains much work, and many difficult decisions, ahead of us. We need fresh approaches and new ideas as Berkeley forges a path to maintain its excellence along with its full commitment to a public mission in the current funding environment. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I pledge my total commitment to ensuring a smooth transition as I leave this post. And I look forward to joining on a full time basis the distinguished faculty that was my primary reason for moving to Berkeley in the first place. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With gratitude to all for the opportunity of a lifetime, \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fiat Lux,\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nicholas B.

It has been a great honor to serve as the 10th Chancellor of Berkeley, and I am proud of all we have accomplished. Over the summer I have come to the personal decision that the time is right for me to step aside and allow someone else to take up the financial and institutional challenges ahead of us.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I am especially proud of the work we have done to enhance the undergraduate experience at Berkeley, as we have launched curricular and programmatic initiatives in data science and arts and design, and begun to re-evaluate the whole student experience, including residential and extracurricular life as well as our academic structures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The research done at Berkeley is second to none, and it has been exhilarating to learn about the breadth and depth of the research our faculty conducts across every discipline and field. I have worked with colleagues to develop new forms of support for cross-disciplinary research, new modes of connection between research and innovation outside the university, and new ideas to ensure that Berkeley’s future contributions to knowledge will be even more impressive and important in the years ahead. I am especially excited about the ways in which our partnership with UCSF has expanded in recent years and will provide a foundation for even more robust support for, and activity in, the bio-medical sciences. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I have also been pleased to work with colleagues in developing new global initiatives for our university, creating significant alliances for research, new educational partnerships and programs, and ideas for new forms of global institutional collaboration. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We have also worked hard to increase and improve philanthropy for Berkeley, a source of funding that will be ever more critical to our continued success as a university in the years ahead. Building on the great success of the “Campaign for Berkeley,” we have posted records in fundraising for the last two years in a row ($462 M and $479 M respectively). Meanwhile we are in the final stages of completing and implementing a new development structure we call Fundraising 2.0, which will enable far better coordination across our many units while more fully leveraging our alumni and donor base. We have also been working to build and strengthen our alumni relations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During my time at Berkeley we have begun to address growing concerns around sexual assault, violence, and harassment on campus, investing significant resources not only in our Title IX office, but in identifying new campus leadership, as well as better organized structures, procedures, and standards for prevention, care and advocacy, investigation and adjudication, sanctions, and community awareness and resolve. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I have worked to increase the diversity of the senior administration, and consider the challenge of addressing issues of diversity across our administration, our faculty, our staff, and our student body, and continuing the work to improve our campus climate for all of constituencies regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, or sexual identity, as of paramount importance for our community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I am also proud of what we have done through an earlier task force to ensure that our student athletes have the kind of support they need not only to excel in their chosen sports but in the classroom. In the months ahead, I will work with the second task force on our athletic programs, this one to propose new ways to ensure a sound financial future for the athletic department in the larger context of our budgetary challenges. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Our most critical task now is to ensure a sustainable financial foundation for our university at a time of significantly diminished support from the state. While we have made important progress, substantially reducing our deficit for the coming year, and developing a plan to balance the budget over the subsequent two to three years, there remains much work, and many difficult decisions, ahead of us. We need fresh approaches and new ideas as Berkeley forges a path to maintain its excellence along with its full commitment to a public mission in the current funding environment. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I pledge my total commitment to ensuring a smooth transition as I leave this post. And I look forward to joining on a full time basis the distinguished faculty that was my primary reason for moving to Berkeley in the first place. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With gratitude to all for the opportunity of a lifetime, \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fiat Lux,\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nicholas B. Dirks\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
