Why would this lesbian liberal jump from a hotel rather than the Golden Gate Bridge? Maybe she couldn't swim. ;~))

I think Det. Columbo would suspect she was pushed. Maybe, but probably not. She seems to have been preparing for this:
Denice Dee Denton, chancellor of the University of California-Santa Cruz, apparently jumped to her death Saturday morning from the 44th floor of a San Francisco building where she shared an apartment with her partner.
Denton, 46, landed on the roof of the building's parking structure, said San Francisco police Sgt. Neville Gittens. He was unsure if she had left behind a note. The medical examiner's office is investigating the death as a suicide.
The nationally recognized educator had been in the eye of controversy since she arrived at UC-Santa Cruz less than a year and a half ago.
Sources said Denton had retreated from the campus in the weeks before her death, canceling appointments and clearing her calendar. She began a short medical leave on June 15, a campus spokesman said.

You said: Maybe she couldn't swim.
Or perhaps she COULD!

My guess is that she got into MIT via the anything-but-brains-diversity pool, perhaps even supplanting a better student who happened to be a straight white male. Nah, that couldn't happen at MIT.I have some involvement in the admissions process at MIT. There is no "anything-but-brains-diversity pool" at the Institute. If this woman had not been qualified to be admitted at MIT (and the qualifications to be admitted at MIT are pretty damn high), her gender would have made no difference.

I was just spouting with the Det. Columbo speculations.
It sounds like the late chancellor was either tired of campus conflicts or
maybe was afraid of further financial scrutiny of her situation at
UC-Santa Cruz.
But, in my silly made-for-TV movie plot...I still like the idea of
the business/economic professor doing it to save the campus from
financial ruin.
Yeah, I know that's taking license...the California taxpayers know
no limits when paying for goofy stuff at their schools, so that couldn't
be a reason to dispatch a cash-crazy chancellor.

I'm always assume the most positive intent from FReepers. I'm sure you didn't mean anything negative...
Poor lady.

"She might have been unused to dealing with people outside of science and engineering, because she never had to deal with them before." And this was a "highly qualified" person for chancellorship of a large university??? Whatever. Sounds like not.

She must've been quite a conservative to want to save the taxpayers all that money that would've been spent on the indictment, a trial, and her subsequent incarceration. Impressive. Thanks for the info. This is the first I have heard about a criminal investigation that was coming her way. It would certainly help explain the suicide (other than she had a lot of other problems and confusion in her life).
What else do you know?

If this woman had not been qualified to be admitted at MIT (and the qualifications to be admitted at MIT are pretty damn high), her gender would have made no difference. I can believe that. MIT does not play the diversity game as Harvard does.
I have a BS in Aerospace Engineering, and I thought the major was damn tough. The fact that she had three PhDs in Engineering was impressive.
Sadly, she seemed to be lacking in other vital aspects of her life. Namely, a recognition of the Almighty.

The fact that she had three PhDs in Engineering was impressive. Or obsessive?
In all seriousness, in a field like engineering, wouldn't one PhD be more than enough for anyone?
