We lost touch in 2002 or 2003. Unfortunately I came across this story as I was trying to facebook and google him. Comment #20 does not know what he is talking about. There was never any alleged rape and that statement has no truth whatsoever. Complete fabrication as I was with him throughout his 4 year education and graduation at Yale. We lived together with several mutual friends in a house on campus his junior and senior year. Joseph Cho had a genius IQ, was a concert pianist and composer and possessed a 4.0 GPA for the majority of his Yale education. His mind was truly brilliant and maybe too brilliant as he began to become philosophically lost in the corridors of his mind. At the end of his Junior year and throughout his Senior year he began no longer observing basic social etiquette in order to seek truth etc in people. It created many uncomfortable situations that I had to smooth over. However, he seemed pretty grounded towards the end of his Senior year and began interviewing with top consulting firms before graduation which did not work out. After graduation he became obsessively religious and was breifly enrolled at NYU Law before dropping out and entering the ARMY. He would call me from there but was primarily concerned with converting me into a born again Christian. Ironically, he was too educated and intelligent during his time at Yale to ever put so much faith into something like religion. We lost touch as he became more mentally unstable. I will always cherish the time we spent together at school as he influenced me in so many ways while he was mentally grounded. His composition on the piano rivaled Rachmaninov. I was always worried that I would one day read an article such as this about him. There was a time where he was a remarkable human being and the most loyal friend. I miss this person</p> Joseph Cho was my best friend for around 6 years (4 of which were at Yale 94-98). We lost touch in 2002 or 2003.

You talk about "being punished" ("not a tasering"), but what exactly are you talking about? And what actions did you undertake in all this after the alleged discrimination in the interview process? Did you file a formal discrimination complaint with the appropriate University authority? Did you contact the student press? At this point, what you're relating here is just anecdotal and full of holes, so I'm not sure what the purpose of relating this story about how there's some Chinese/Chinese-American cabal in the UC system that is oppressing the brown (and/or other) folks.</p> no_fan_china_man: You’re leaving BIG gaps in your story.

He also gets department support in the form of TAships and fellowships extended to his students. So yeah, the California taxpayer foots the bill–directly(through the money UCLA gets from the state) or indirectly (as a US taxpayer).

Now this is how Oxford handled a similar complaint and this is how the Oxford students responded. Sadly, the ULCA students (many of whom, as you may know, are Chinese or Chinese-American) don’t seem to care. Perhaps if the discrimination had been directed against that other semitic group there would have been swift and decisive condemnation.

Um, you would think he would be a little tolerant because of his ethnic background too, right?

but you let us know Cho’s case was unique.

I’ve actually known this person for many years, and think he has a history of mental instability and aggressive behavior.

i want to know more about naina’s post on gay slur vs ignorant comment. can someone of credible source enlighten us?
