SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — University of California President Janet Napolitano, who oversaw historic expansions of the 10-campus system and championed immigrant students but whose management structure faced criticism and embarrassing scrutiny, said Wednesday she will step down in August 2020.

Napolitano, a former homeland security secretary and Democratic governor of Arizona, made the announcement at a meeting of the university system's Board of Regents in Los Angeles.

"My time at UC has been deeply gratifying and rewarding. I have been honored and inspired every day to serve this institution alongside incredibly dedicated, passionate people," Napolitano said in a statement. "The decision was tough — and this moment, bittersweet — but the time is right."

Napolitano is an evil woman. We were so happy to have her leave as Governor of Arizona.

She stole money from the university for her own pet projects.
Got away with stealing and gets a fat pension at students expense while accepting bribe money from parents and now having the parents go to jail while she gets away scot free.

she “championed immigrant students” “was a staunch supporter of the rights of immigrant students”

“In 2017, the university joined a lawsuit challenging the Trump administration’s decision to rescind the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, an action that led to injunctions that allowed hundreds of thousands of DACA recipients to extend their authorization to legally live and work in the U.S., including students in the UC system.”

BUT when Obama was boss!

“She stepped down in 2009 to join President Barack Obama’s cabinet as secretary of homeland security, overseeing border security, ramped-up immigration enforcement and efforts to prevent terrorism.”

notice she isn’t going away!

Napolitano said she will take a year sabbatical before teaching, beginning in the fall of 2021, at the University of California, Berkeley’s Goldman School of Public Policy, where she is currently a tenured professor...

LOS ANGELES — The University of California is dumping fossil fuel investments from its nearly $84 billion pension and endowment funds because they are a financial risk, its top financial officers announced Tuesday.
“We have a moral responsibility to take swift action on climate change,” UC President Janet Napolitano said. “This declaration reaffirms UC’s commitment to addressing one of the greatest existential threats of our time.”...

Matt Salmon threw the game against her and allowed her to be elected through fraud. She persecuted Fife Symington and was an Anita Hill champion. She is incredibly evil.

I think the gov has the most appointments but the speaker of the assembly and president of the state senate (also dems) get a spot or two.

Why announce you're going to "step down"
but wait an entire year to actually do it?
If you're going to resign then resign.
One month notice and be gone!

“Iiiiiiiiiiit’s Pat”

Major dyke with the equivalent of “Iron John” events in the woods with fellow dykes... like clinton, and Donna Shalala.
Long hikes in nature and nub rubbing so to speak.

unbalanced individuals, and power crazy.

Never forget Napolitano’s “white paper” describing the most dangerous domestic terror group is “white males” especially ex- military service. A terror group to be inderdicted.
This woman is a disgrace and huge liar.
