Two young women [and perhaps others less obviously] were sending text messages during class, which is supremely distrespectful and indecorous. Both have done this at other meetings.

Why is this allowed at a prestigious university's graduate seminar?

How embarrassing to be in the presence of California's renowned scholars, listening to their presentations, and seeing cell phones being flagrantly used INSIDE THE CLASSROOM.

This is an academic crime.

And a telling sign of the times.
