My time at Rice (which included a wonderful three year stint as KTRU deejay) was hugely important in my life.  It was where I started down the path to become a writer and where I met the like-minds who are still my closest friends.  However, increasingly over the last decade, the administration has made decisions that have begun transforming Rice into a university where I would not send my own child (or support with my donations).  The selling of KTRU (particularly in this way) is the nail in the coffin.  I’m done.
