Dr Leiter was one of my favorite poli sci professors at CSULB.

Dr. Leiter was without any question my favorite instructor in college. He was a tough, no-nonsense teacher who wanted the best out of his students and the sole voice of reason in a rapidly changing political science department where opposing views were no longer tolerated by the majority. He will definitely be missed.

Omg, the milk carton comments if someone missed to many classes, so funny. In his lectures he would talk so much about my family's ranch near the napa valley and all our animals that other students would ask if Tyler's ranch would be on the exam. Now as a part time professor, I use blue books and think of him each time I grade one. One of the best professors ever and someone I will always have fond memories of. Thank you, Tyler Weiper, class of 2004 at csulb.

The best professor I had at CSULB. He touched my life in so many ways! Tyler Weiper, student of his 2002 to 2004! Thank you.

Dr.Leiter is really the only professor I remember from my college days over 44 years ago. He was truly influential in how I learned to see myself and discover what I could accomplish with just a little more confidence in my abilities. I treasure now the fact that I reached out to him shortly before his passing and let him know how much his counsel meant to me. RIP.  

Mr. Leiter was the King of the Blue Books.
His subtle humor and keen wit kept us all on the leading edge of academic learning. 
He made his students feel comfortable when he served tea in his office. 
He will be missed.
Rest well beloved Scholar and Friend!

Awwwww Dr. Letter, I was just speaking of you and the fond memories I have of being in class with you. It led me to googling you and just learned of your passing. Thank you for enriching so many of our lives. Your funny jokes about putting our face on a milk carton for skipping class or giving the gents a hard time for not wearing leather soles shoes. Your memory will stay with us forever. How do you like those apples!
With warm regards, Christy Zamani

Bill, 

You are a wonderful, bright, and humorous person. You will be remembered always by Anita and me not to mention the many students you taught. 

Love,

David, Anita, Rosie, and Charlie
