The Harvard Gazette begins with:

Antanas Mockus had just resigned from the top job of Colombian National University.

I'm amused it doesn't say why. (He was going to talk on a stage; students were shouting so loud he couldn't speak; he mooned them, they shut up, he gave his talk. On national television, too.)

[Edit] It does say why, but a while into the article.

I have to say: he certainly 'won'. Rationality or not, that is one impressive list of results.

Awesome :)
