Where is any information about the UC budget problems?
Previous versions of Yudof's page included references to criticism of his work at the University of California. All of these references have been deleted as of 28 September 2009. (See Kliner916 edits in the "history" page of this article.) This seems unethical, given that none of those references were libellious, and they were all properly cited. -- 4 October 2009.
I concur with the above remarks of 4 oct 2009 regarding the removal of previously posted, highly relevant, critical materials. Without inclusion of said material the entry is a joke, and may as well have been written by Yudof or the UC system. A great disservice is done by allowing the powers that be dictate their version of the truth to the public via Wikipedia.

scrubbing?
looks like Palin's PR firm may have been hired here- no discussion of the pay scandal involving President Dynes and Linda Morris Williams -- which Yudof had to address early on in office:

there is also no discussion of the protests that have occurred at Yudof's home and offices:

it would be a shame if we have to turn to the discussion pages for articles in order to find some neutrality and objectivity.
In reading the other comments here - it looks as though the content was posted and somehow conveniently removed ... --4rousseau (talk) 23:59, 30 January 2010 (UTC)
- We need to amend the article, despite the obvious self-promotion of it. The man is a very controversial figure in California, and there is NO mention of it in the article. Not mention of criticism section or anything. Simply amazing. The Scythian 19:56, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
Resignation
It seems that this individual has resigned as President of the UC. <url>http://markyudof.com/</url>
I cannot determine the accuracy of this, and am not up to altering the article to reflect it, so I ask that someone else do such.75.80.182.75 (talk) 07:06, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
I don't know how relevant this is, but the discussions I've had with other grad students here at UC Santa Barbara is that the markyudof.com website is a prank. Too bad, in my opinion; I'd love to see this no-talent ass-clown unemployed, but ... in the interest of encyclopedic objectivity, I wouldn't update the information yet. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pmooney78 (talk • contribs) 01:36, 7 March 2010 (UTC)
Scythian77's edits
The comment "He acts like that's a noble act" is POV. This comment as well as "Students are outraged" are unsourced. Just putting them back into the article again and again does not make these comments objective and sourced. Logical Cowboy (talk) 18:44, 20 March 2010 (UTC)
Edits such as this one are introducing POV and unsourced material, and getting close to 3RR.

Disclaimers: I am responding to a third opinion request made at WP:3O. I have made no previous edits on Mark Yudof and have no known association with the editors involved in this discussion. The third opinion process (FAQ) is informal and I have no special powers or authority apart from being a fresh pair of eyes. Third opinions are not tiebreakers and should not be "counted" in determining whether or not consensus has been reached. My personal standards for issuing third opinions can be viewed here. |
Opinion: The material is unsourced in that the claimed sources in no way support the material being added. This is, therefore, unsourced contentious biography of a living person material in direct violation of WP:GRAPEVINE and the exemption to 3RR in GRAPEVINE makes even a single reposting of it a violation of Wikipedia policy which can lead to the reposter being blocked or banned, once a proper warning has been placed on the violator's talk page. |

- Very interesting attempt at a threat, Transporterman, when your opinion more than sufficed. I suggest you read up on WP:WL. The Scythian 00:06, 21 March 2010 (UTC)
