Janet Napolitano is resigning as head of the Homeland Security Department and seeking a post as president of the University of California, the long-time Obama confidant announced Friday.
Officials told Fox News that Napolitano does not plan to leave her post until September. But she announced the move on Friday after it began to break in the media, revealing that she has been nominated to lead the California university system.
"For more than four years I have had the privilege of serving President Obama and his Administration as the Secretary of Homeland Security," she said in a statement. "The opportunity to work with the dedicated men and women of the Department of Homeland Security, who serve on the frontlines of our nation's efforts to protect our communities and families from harm, has been the highlight of my professional career. We have worked together to minimize threats of all kinds to the American public."
Napolitano has ridden out a rocky tenure, having endured a string of lawsuits and multiple controversies regarding the agencies that DHS oversees. Among the complaints, Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents accused the department leadership in a lawsuit of failing to properly enforce immigration law. Their complaints center on the practice of using "prosecutorial discretion" -- allowing department lawyers to selectively determine which immigrants to pursue for deportation, and which to let go. Her aides claimed it was a matter of prioritizing resources, though some agents claimed it ran afoul of immigration law.

$400,00 +/ yr. payoff
I hear she is to be named President of the “California University System”. Can California stoop much lower? She’ll be triple dipping for her eventual retirement,, collecting from AZ, the Feds, and from the soon-to-be-broke CA retirement fund.

After her job performance caused Webster to re-define “incompetent”, I have to wonder why any entity would want to hire this useless well of disaster. Oh wait—it’s California. Mystery solved.
Getting out before the revolution...wonder if she will write a book once she settles into her college job???
Yet you have failed to either minimize or eliminate the biggest threat to the American public, which resides at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., Washington D.C.!!!
California deserves her!
Thanks. Like we ain’t got enough problems.
Can California stoop much lower?
Robert Reich teaches at Berkeley.
