Talk:Chang-Lin Tien
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Was there ever controversy that he was simultaneously a member of Academia Sinica and the Chinese Academy of Sciences? Has anyone else every done that? --Dpr 03:16, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Details of Chancellor's tenure...
It would be nice if someone with access to the information could include more details on some of the historic events during his tenure as chancellor. First and formost the attempted assassination of Chancellor Tien in 1992 by a troubled radical? Controversies around the individual aside, its impact on Tien is an important part of his tenure at UC Berkeley.
Also the Henry's hostage situation, the Oakland Hills fire, etc. These were cases where Tien's leadership was important.
