Jump?
I think Det. Columbo would suspect she was pushed.
First suspects? Her "longtime partner" who wanted to get "a new model"
now that she's got a cushy job at the school.
Or an prof. from the business school who made sure the chancellor
ran out of time before she could bankrupt the whole university.
San Francisco is in the midst of (Gay )Pride Week or some such rot. I'll surmise that the lady realized that she wasn't " gay " , ( as in happy, carefree ) at all.
She was in Hawaii and unavailable for comment. I don't think her arms are quite that long.
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.
