RE: Janet Napolitano resigns as head of University of California system

Good riddance to bad rubbish.

From her Wikipedia bio:

In March 2009, Napolitano told the German news site Der Spiegel that while there is always a threat from terrorism, she preferred to talk about "man-caused' disasters" as a way "to move away from the politics of fear toward a policy of being prepared for all risks that can occur."[36]

***

Right-wing extremism memo
Napolitano was the subject of controversy after the release of a Department of Homeland Security threat assessment report that was seen as derogatory towards armed forces veterans. The report focused on potential threats from the radical right.[42] Rightwing [sic] Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment[43] was made public in April 2009. The report suggested several factors, including the election of the first black or mixed race president in Barack Obama, concerns regarding future gun control measures, illegal immigration, the economic downturn beginning in 2008, abortion controversy, and disgruntled military veterans' possible vulnerability to recruitment efforts by extremist groups as potential risk factors regarding right-wing extremism recruitment.[44]

Discrimination lawsuit
In July 2012, Napolitano was accused of allowing discrimination against male staffers within the Department of Homeland Security.[63][64] The federal discrimination lawsuit, filed in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, was filled by James Hayes Jr., at the time a special agent of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in New York City.[65] The suit alleged that managers Dora Schriro and Suzanne Barr mistreated male staffers, and that promotions were given to women who were friends of Napolitano. The suit also claimed that when the abuse was reported to the Equal Employment Opportunity office Napolitano launched a series of misconduct investigations against the reporting party, Hayes.[66] This allegation was never proven. The spokesperson for ICE declined to comment on "unfounded claims".[67]

***

DACA and comprehensive immigration reform
Napolitano was a long-term advocate for comprehensive immigration reform, starting with her terms as governor of Arizona.[71] In 2012, in an effort to provide relief for the so-called DREAM Act population, or DREAMers, Napolitano used prosecutorial discretion to create the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program (DACA).[72] DREAMers were brought to the U.S. by their parents as minors and have no experience of living in their countries of citizenship.[73] The program deferred removal proceedings against DREAMers, providing them with the legal status to remain in the United States without fear of deportation.

And that is just her authoried Wikipedia bio. Imagine the dirt if someone has actually been investigating her.

“In 2017, a state audit revealed that Napolitano’s office hid $175 million, even as it raised tuition for students in the UC system.

“The audit found that Napolitano’s office ‘used misleading budgeting practices, provided its employees with generous salaries and atypical benefits, and failed to satisfactorily justify its spending on systemwide initiatives,’” noted Breitbart News reporter Chriss Street.

Moreover, the auditor testified that Napolitano and her office had attempted to interfere with — and to smear publicly — the investigation, in an effort to prevent revelations of the hidden money.

“Napolitano approved a plan instructing UC campuses to submit responses to confidential questionnaires for review by each college’s chancellor and her aides before returning them to the state auditor,” noted Los Angeles Times. “Those steps and others ‘constituted interference,’ the investigation said.””
