Chapman University announced just a few moments ago that it has locked in recently reinstated UCI Law School Dean Erwin Chemerinsky to be its law school graduation commencement speaker next year.

The announcement is the most recent illustration of Chemerinsky's quick ascension from ashy to classy.

Chapman is taking the high ground saying, not only is it ok with Chemerinsky's possible "polarizing" politics, it welcomes them. According to the release, Chapman Law dean John Eastman supports Chemerinsky's recent reinstatement as UCI's law dean and says he sees Chemerinsky's left-leaning politics as a challenge that will only make things more interesting.

Eastman is quoted in the release as saying, “I’m extremely pleased that Professor Chemerinsky will indeed become the dean of the new UCI law school, and that the ‘freeway series’ between Chapman, the county’s top private law school, and UCI, the county’s top public law school, will soon begin. I can’t wait for the rivalry to start – it can only be good for Orange County. And to underscore the collegiality of the schools, we are delighted that Erwin will be our commencement speaker this coming spring.”

Now that UC Irvine Chancellor Michael V. Drake got Erwin Chemerinsky back as Dean of the UCI Law School, I couldn't help but wonder if Chancellor Drake is singing the following song:

What a diff'rence a day makes
Twenty-four little hours
Brought the sun and the flowers
Where there used to be rain

My yesterday was blue, dear
Today I'm part of you, dear
My lonely nights are through, dear
Since you said you were mine

What a diff'rence a day makes
There's a rainbow before me
Skies above can't be stormy
Since that moment of bliss, that thrilling kiss

It's heaven when you
Find romance on your menu
What a diff'rence a day makes
And the difference is you

What a diff'rence a day makes
There's a rainbow before me
Skies above can't be stormy
Since that moment of bliss, that thrilling kiss

It's heaven when you
Find romance on your menu
What a diff'rence a day makes
And the difference is you.
