Denice Denton, who was most recently the Chancellor for UC Santa Cruz, and former University of Washington's Dean of the College of Engineering, my college, jumped off the 43rd floor of an apartment complex in San Francisco yesterday in a suicide. That's freakin crazy! I remember her when she was at the UW and her life-partner (she was a lesbian gay) was Prof. Gretchen Kalonji, who was a faculty member in my small Materials Science department. They both took off for UC midway through 2004, and apparently, things didn't work out. :(
Pretty crazy stuff.
Here's the CNN news article.
Here's an AP article.
