Somewhat of a tangent on this: during the election campaign, I noticed that one of Hillary's largest donors was the University of California system.

You mean the University of California system that has Janet Napolitano (a/k/a Big Sister) as president?

(In case you didn't notice, I just answered your question)

Ah, thank you, that does help explain it! It raises another question, too: the University of California donated $1.37 billion to Hillary; Napolitano's net worth is $2 million--where did she and UC come up with that kind of money? This article poses the question but gives a generic answer: "Individuals from the UC raised more money than several large companies in the US, including many tech companies in Silicon Valley, another large source of funding for Clinton. Employees for the UC raised $1.37 billion for the Democratic nominee. Workers affiliated with Alphabet Inc., the parent company of Google, were second in financial contributions, coming in at $1.32 billion. 'At first blush, I’m surprised,' said Jessica Levinson, a professor at Loyola Law School, in an article published by the San Francisco Chronicle. 'People who work at UC make a lot less than people who work at Google or Alphabet, Inc., so in that sense it’s surprising, but you have to think about the size of the employer.'": University of California among largest source of donations to Clinton Yes, it's a big employer, but: $1.37 billion? If each of the 238,700 students in the UC system donated $100 to Hillary, that'd still only be $23.87 million. Napolitano must have some very big donors in her network to make up the difference between that and $1.37 billion. As I'm thinking about it, even the NEA only donated $1.572 million to the Democrats in 2016, so I guess that means my NEA/UC idea won't explain it, either. I just played another hunch and looked for a Soros connection--nothing definite, but I did find this: "Alexander Soros is pursuing a doctorate in modern European history at University of California at Berkeley." Soros Philanthropy: the Next Generation Seems like there must be someone with that kind of cash involved somewhere.
