Today's Ninth Circuit opinion notes that "Shih, an electrical engineering professor at the University of California, Los Angeles, collaborated with engineers in the People’s Republic of China in conducting research for China Avionics Systems Co. Limited (“AVIC”), a Chinese enterprise that develops military weapons. . . . Shih was sentenced to concurrent 85-month sentences on Counts One and Two and lesser concurrent sentences on the other sixteen counts."
I'm sure that I'm being overly proprietary here, but I'd nonetheless like to point out that Mr. Shih was an adjunct professor at UCLA. That's a big difference.
By contrast, full-time, tenured professors in California rarely sell military secrets to our adversaries.
Rarely.
