Denice Denton, UC Santa Cruz Chancellor, committed suicide yesterday by jumping from an apartment window in San Francisco. She had been despondent about her job and personal issues, according to her mother Carolyn Mabee. Rumors are now running rampant about her relationship with her partner and about university financing. Who knows if we will ever hear her true story. I remember her for her stand against Harvard President Lawrence Summers after he declared that women were genetically inferior to men when it came to scientific pursuits.
