Please help me find a the resume for Condalizza Rice.
Let me explain why.
One of my college instructors (an art instructor) got a tad carried away during a lecture, fell off topic and wound up talking about politics.
She managed to get on the topic of Iraq and how bad America is for wanting to attack and defeat Sadam.
This made me angry but what really sent me over the edge was when she called Ms. Rice, Bush's "lackey".
I was very angry, got up and walked out of class, informing my instructor on the way out that I would return when she stopped talking about politics and got back to the topic of art.
When I came back into the room, the instructor apologized in a very left handed way, asking me if I would like to discuss politics and President Gore at another time.
I would like to find the resume for Ms. Rice, toss it in her lap and ask her if that is her defintion of a "lackey". I understand that Ms. Rice is very accomplished and very well educated.
The points I would like to make to my instructor are;
discussing politics in some arenas is inappropriate
no matter what her personal views, she should show proper respect to people who deserve her respect, and I believe that Ms. Rice has earned that respect.
A link to that information would be fine or if you have something postable I would really like that too.
Thanks in advance.
She previously served as a Hoover senior fellow from 1991 until 1993, when she was appointed provost of Stanford University. Rice held the position of provost for six years, during which time she served as the chief academic and budget officer of the university, before stepping down on July 1, 1999. She is on a one-year leave of absence from the university.
Rice first came to Stanford in 1981 as a fellow in the arms control and disarmament program. She is a tenured professor in the university's political science department and was a Hoover Institution national fellow from 1985 until 1986.
Following her initial Hoover Institution affiliation, Rice went to Washington, D.C. to work on nuclear strategic planning at the Joint Chiefs of Staff as part of a Council on Foreign Relations fellowship. She came back to Stanford when the fellowship ended.
Rice returned to Washington in 1989 when she was director of Soviet and East European affairs with the National Security Council. She also was appointed special assistant to the president for national security affairs and senior director for Soviet affairs at the National Security Council under President George Bush. In those roles, she helped bring democratic reforms to Poland, and played a vital role in crafting many of the Bush administration's policies with the former Soviet Union.
Rice's professional activities since returning to Stanford have not been limited to the university. She cofounded the Center for a New Generation, an after-school academy in East Palo Alto, California, and is a corporate board member for Chevron, the Hewlett Foundation, and Charles Schwab. In addition, Rice is a member of J.P. Morgan's international advisory council.
Rice is a Council of Foreign Relations member, a National Endowment for the Humanities trustee, and a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.
She has written numerous articles and several books on international relations and foreign affairs, including Germany Unified and Europe Transformed: A Study in Statecraft, with Philip Zelikow (Harvard University Press, 1995).
Rice enrolled at the University of Denver at the age of 15, graduating at 19 with a bachelor's degree in political science (cum laude). She earned a master's degree at the University of Notre Dame and a doctorate from the University of Denver's Graduate School of International Studies. Both of her advanced degrees are also in political science.
Well, first, it's "Condoleezza" Rice.
She had been a Hoover Senior Fellow and Professor of Political Science at Stanford University before taking an academic leave of absence for a year during which time she conducted research and served as primary foreign policy advisor to the Bush Presidential Campaign.
She recently completed a six-year tenure as Stanford's Provost in June 1999, during which she was the institution's chief budget and academic officer.
As Provost she was responsible for a $1.5 billion annual budget and the academic program involving 1,400 faculty members and 14,000 students. While Dr. Rice was instrumental in creating several new and innovative academic programs and initiatives, she also reduced $20 million in base budget costs of the university, balanced the budget in the first year, and reported budget surpluses during the rest of her tenure as Provost.
As a professor of political science, Dr. Rice joined the Stanford faculty in 1981 and won two of its highest teaching honors - the 1984 Walter J. Gores Award for Excellence in Teaching and the 1993 School of Humanities and Sciences Dean's Award for Distinguished Teaching. Her teaching and research interests included the politics of East-Central Europe and the former Soviet Union, the comparative study of military institutions, and international security policy. She pursued these specialties in academia and in government service.
At Stanford, she was a member of the Center for International Security and Arms Control, a Senior Fellow of the Institute for International Studies, and a Fellow (by courtesy) of the Hoover Institution. Her books include Germany Unified and Europe Transformed (1995) with Philip Zelikow, The Gorbachev Era (1986) with Alexander Dallin, and Uncertain Allegiance: The Soviet Union and the Czechoslovak Army (1984). She also has written numerous articles on Soviet and East European foreign and defense policy, and has addressed audiences in settings ranging from the U.S. Ambassador's Residence in Moscow to the Commonwealth Club to the 1992 Republican National Convention.
From 1989 through March 1991, the period of German reunification and the final days of the Soviet Union, she served in the Bush administration as Director, and then Senior Director, of Soviet and East European Affairs in the National Security Council, and as Special Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs. In 1986, while an international affairs fellow of the Council on Foreign Relations, she served as Special Assistant to the Director of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. In 1997, she served on the Federal Advisory Committee on Gender - Integrated Training in the Military.
She is a member of the boards of directors for the Chevron Corporation, the Charles Schwab Corporation, the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, the University of Notre Dame, the International Advisory Council of J.P. Morgan and the San Francisco Symphony Board of Governors. She is a Founding Board Member of the Center for a New Generation, an educational support fund for schools in East Palo Alto and East Menlo Park, California and is Vice President of the Boys and Girls Club of the Peninsula. Her past board service has encompassed such organizations as Transamerica Corporation, Hewlett Packard, the Carnegie Corporation, Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, The Rand Corporation, the National Council for Soviet and East European Studies, the Mid-Peninsula Urban Coalition and KQED, public broadcasting for San Francisco.
