After being appointed the first female president of the University of California, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano admitted she might not have been the obvious choice.
But Napolitano said her leadership experience as a cabinet secretary and governor of Arizona had prepared her for leading the 10-campus university system with 240,000 students.
"Let me acknowledge that I am not a traditional candidate for this position," the 55-year-old Napolitano told UC's governing board. "I have not spent a career in academia. But that said, I have spent 20 years in public service advocating for it."
University regents voted Thursday to approve her nomination, despite objections to her record on immigration.....snip~
Napolitano approved as first female UC president
I kinda feel sad for my California bruthas and sistas.....then I thought about it for a min. Figuring better you than us. No telling where Obama's People will get nice cushy jobs they have no experience in. After they want out of Politics.
Guess Arizona didn't want her back around there.
