Role as Tulane University Law School dean
While at the Tulane Law School he established the Tulane Law Review.[2]
gollark: LyricLy claims that it was obviously mine because of the formatting and use of numpy. This is wrong and ridiculous. The real reason it was obviously mine is that it does the usual gollark thing of just implementing a weird algorithm and not doing much else.
gollark: They scheduled it for 24 hours, bee.
gollark: Anyway, since LyricLy is done lyricing, it is time for me to ramble incoherently about my entry (#7±5).
gollark: Alternatively, just add a backdoor and do it later. Somehow nobody noticed me doing that in #9. Anyway, I *do* have a cool image-based esolang sitting around to use somewhere. Maybe I could incorporate that.
gollark: The obvious solution is to reveal all implementation details of lyriclysite™ so we can do that.
