Linda Katehi was suspended this week from her job as chancellor of UC Davis after several days of drama. Told to resign, she asked for more time, sources said. She hired a lawyer and fired off an email saying she was committed to remaining chancellor. That same day, she was suspended by UC President Janet Napolitano.
