Reges got fired from Stanford computer science in the 1990\'s when he refused to comply with Stanford\'s drug policy. It\'s nice to know he\'s still irritating academic Grundies.\
\
\"Gibbons said that he strongly disapproved of, but for First Amendment reasons did not include in his decision, two other actions Reges confirmed - encouraging a student in drug experimentation and encouraging others to violate Stanford\'s drug and alcohol policy.\
\
\"I want you to know that, while my decision is not based on the facts of the last paragraph,\" Gibbons\' letter said, \"I personally consider your advice to students extremely irresponsible.\"\

\
\"Seeing an opportunity, Reges wrote his own land acknowledgment. He wrote, \"I acknowledge that by the labor theory of property the Coast Salish people can claim historical ownership of almost none of the land currently occupied by the University of Washington.\"\"\
