I cannot believe the resources that have gone into this woman staying on the job. Evil.

If you're going to argue for or against #FreeCollege  in the #Election2016  season, you may want to be up on the #history of it. This is a nice summary through the California lens.

LMS Outage: Exclusive view of UC Davis contract with Scriba -e-Literate http://ow.ly/oLCu301G3XI

What we didn’t know at the time was whether UC Davis staff had planned for such a contingency and had reasonable controls in place. Thanks to the media relations and IT teams at UC Davis, we at e-Literate now have the contract with Scriba to help answer these questions. I have also talked to Ian Dolphin, executive direct at the Apereo Foundation that runs the Sakai project, and Michael Sanders, CEO of Scriba, to gather and verify the data in this post.

In a nutshell, this was a screwup of colossal proportions by Scriba and Scriba alone. Furthermore, Scriba is no longer a Sakai Commercial Affiliate.
