Pérez steered the conversation through both weighty policy issues and fun facts about Drake. For instance: Drake owns a Fender Stratocaster guitar and has played with former Jefferson Airplane guitarist Jorma Kaukonen. He indulged his love of music as a teenage clerk, earning less than $2 an hour, at the original Tower Records in Sacramento. And the two musicians whose albums Drake automatically bought, songs unheard, were Miles Davis and Marvin Gaye.
Then-Chancellor Michael V. Drake at UC Irvine’s class of 2014 commencement ceremony in Angel Stadium.On policy issues, the leaders agreed that the UC system’s world-class research and innovation on climate change give it the gravitas to step into an expanded global role on the issue. During the 10-month presidential search, which included six campus town halls that took place before the onset of the coronavirus crisis, climate change was the top concern raised, Pérez said.
“As a globe, as a nation, it’s really critically important that we work to reverse the climate change that we’ve seen changing the ecosystem right before our eyes, and the university is meant to be a leader,” Drake said of UC.. On Friday, he discussed topics ranging from the Watts riots to the Confederate flag. In discussing a course he has co-taught at both Irvine and Ohio State on music, civil rights and the U.S.
“We believe that the flag has so many negative connotations,” Drake said. “It means so much to so many people in such a negative way that this was not appropriate for our student athletes and others to have to confront.”The two men did not discuss labor relations, although Pérez said the issue was a top concern expressed during the presidential search process.
PublicEnemyFTP what say you on ClimateChange
For sen
'critically important that we work to reverse the climate change that we’ve seen changing the ecosystem right before our eyes' What do you see Mr. Drake? Talking about CC, or ACC? Can you not speak like an educated man? You cannot roll back natural CC, and can't observe ACC.
'climate change was the top concern raised' I'd offer that it's misleading to say Climate Change, CC, when you're actually talking about man-made CC, ACC . One exists and is always dramatic; the other is perceived/predicted to alter natural CC, but they are not one in the same
And no one cares
