"Who is 'leaning' on UC? You know they didn't initiate this themselves."

Don't think they did it out of principle. They did it, as they stated in the LA Times today, because they felt if they didn't make an example of these students, others would try similar activities and the University could be liable if someone got hurt. They are doing it to minimize their potential future liability - not out of taking a principled stand for justice.

I wonder if the U of Cal system would also back tort reform legislation.......nope, they will just continue to minimize exposure to litigation instead.
