*LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com)* — U.S. Secretary of Homeland
Security<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Secretary_of_Homeland_Security>Janet
Napolitano will become the first female president of the University
of California system, officials announced Friday.
“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<http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=37.0,-120.0&spn=10.0,10.0&q=37.0,-120.0%20(California)&t=h>,”
UC Regent and Committee Chair Sherry
Lansing<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sherry_Lansing>said.
Napolitano, who will resign from her federal post Friday, will head the
145-year-old, 10-campus system that includes local schools such as UCLA, UC
Riverside <http://www.ucr.edu> and UC
Irvine<http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=33.64535,-117.842641667&spn=0.01,0.01&q=33.64535,-117.842641667%20(University%20of%20California%2C%20Irvine)&t=h>.
The UC system also includes five medical centers, three affiliated national
laboratories and a statewide agriculture and natural resources program.
The system has more than 234,000 students, about 208,000 faculty and staff,
more than 1.6 million living alumni and an annual operating budget of more
than $24 billion.
Napolitano, one of 300 potential nominees reviewed for the position,
received a unanimous vote of recommendation from the 10-member Special
Committee, Lansing said.
“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,” Lansing said. “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.”
The full Board of Regents will act on the recommendation Thursday, July 18,
during a special meeting following the board’s regular bimonthly meeting in
San Francisco.
“For more than four years I have had the privilege of serving President
Obama <http://www.barackobama.com> and his Administration as the Secretary
of Homeland Security. The opportunity to work with the dedicated men and
women of the Department of Homeland
Security<http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=38.9380555556,-77.0822222222&spn=0.01,0.01&q=38.9380555556,-77.0822222222%20(United%20States%20Department%20of%20Homeland%20Security)&t=h>,
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. The Department has improved the safety of
travelers; implemented smart steps that make our immigration system more
fair and focused while deploying record resources to protect our nation’s
borders; worked with states to build resiliency and make our nation’s
emergency and disaster response capabilities more robust; and partnered
with the private sector to improve our cybersecurity. After four plus years
of focusing on these challenges, I will be nominated as the next President
of the University of California to play a role in educating our nation’s
next generation of leaders. I thank President Obama for the chance to serve
our nation during this important chapter in our history, and I know the
Department of Homeland Security will continue to perform its important
duties with the honor and focus that the American public expects,”
Napolitano said in a statement.
The 55-year-old served as governor of Arizona from 2003 to 2009, when she
was named Secretary of Homeland Security.
Current UC President Mark G.
Yudof<http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/president/welcome.html>announced
in January that he would step down from the office in August
after a five-year term.
Sorry, but ding dong the Bitch is Gone. Karma Sis Karma. It's gonna bite
your ugly arse yet.
