announces presidential nomination
University of California Regent
Sherry Lansing, chair of the Special Committee to Consider the Selection of a
President, made the following statement today (July 12) about the nomination of
Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano for president of the University
of California:
“I am pleased to announce that the
Special Committee has nominated Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano
to serve as the 20th president of the University of California. The search for
a new leader for UC was extensive, with more than 300 potential nominees
reviewed. Secretary Napolitano rose to the top and received a unanimous vote of
recommendation from the Special Committee.
“Secretary Napolitano is a
distinguished and dedicated public servant who has earned trust at the highest,
most critical levels of our country’s government. She has proven herself to be a
dynamic, hard-working and transformative leader. As Governor of Arizona, she was
an effective advocate for public education, and a champion for the life-changing
opportunities that education provides. As Secretary of Homeland Security, she
has been an ardent advocate for the federal Dream Act and the architect of a
policy that protects from deportation young undocumented immigrants who are
pursuing a college education.
“Her personal story is compelling.
As a student at Santa Clara University in California, she became the
university’s first female valedictorian, and a Truman Scholar. After earning her
law degree at the University of Virginia, she was selected to clerk for Judge
Mary M. Schroeder of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. Her father
was dean of the University of New Mexico School of Medicine. It is no
coincidence that those who know her best say that a passion for education is in
her DNA.
“While some may consider her to be
an unconventional choice, Secretary Napolitano is without a doubt the right person at the right time to lead this incredible University. She will bring
fresh eyes and a new sensibility – not only to UC, but to all of California. She
will stand as a vigorous advocate for faculty, students and staff at a time when
great changes in our state, and across the globe, are presenting as many
opportunities as challenges. A final decision on Secretary Napolitano’s
appointment rests with the full Board of Regents. I can say with great
confidence that the Special Committee has put forward a remarkably gifted
candidate.”

And you can be sure that the MSU will be given free reign to pursue their agenda against the Jewish students. I wonder how high their body count will be?
Squid,
If you thought Yudof was feckless, we ain't seen nothin'.
Gary--does this mean you may be out of a job?? (This may be a dupe, and maybe not, if so I apologize, first one seemed to disappear on me).
Elwood,
Nobody has to fire me. I am only a part-timer with no job protections. I live off my govt pension. I only teach one 2-hr class a day. All they have to do is not call me and offer me a class next quarter. I will be 68 this month, so it's no big deal. I will continue to criticize her as I did her predecessor Mark Yudof when appropriate.
