What a Ph.D. is Good For

9/24/25 College Fix:
"A federal judge sentenced a ‘scholar-activist” to almost 20 years in prison and ordered him to pay nearly $100,000 in fines for firebombing a University of California Berkeley police car and committing other acts of arson.

Judge Jeffrey White went further than even requested by the prosecution, who asked for 15 years in prison for Casey Goonan, who committed the crimes in June 2024.

"Goonan, as detailed by the Department of Justice, “placed a bag containing six explosive devices commonly known as ‘Molotov cocktails’ underneath the fuel tank of a marked University of California Police Department (UCPD) patrol car parked near the UC Berkeley campus.  Goonan lit the bag on fire and fled, causing the patrol car to catch on fire.”

The power of scholarship. 

Best of all privileged: 

"He lived at home with his parents in California in their $1.1 million house The San Francisco Standard previously reported. Reporting from The Daily Californian uses “they/them” pronouns, suggesting Goonan identifies as transgender."
