William Hung, the UC Berkeley engineering student who became a

video that will air on Fuse. The presentation, according to AP, was to
be made at a UC Berkeley volleyball game tonight.

We could imagine that putting Jayson Blair Scholarship recipient on your resume would be about as effective as listing something like Started SARS epidemic. Michael Viner, who published Blairs memoir, Burning Down My Masters House, told Editor & Publisher Blair wants to use a portion of his advance to fund the scholarship program.
