"bio": "Alex Emslie is senior editor of talent and development at KQED, where he manages dozens of early career journalists and oversees news department internships.\r\n\r\nHe is a former carpenter and proud graduate of City College of San Francisco and San Francisco State University, where he studied journalism and criminal justice before joining KQED in 2013.\r\n\r\nAlex produced investigative journalism focused on \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11667594/the-trials-of-marvin-mutch-video\">criminal justice\u003c/a> and policing for most of a decade. He has broken major stories about \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/135682/amid-a-series-of-vallejo-police-shootings-one-officers-name-stands-out\">police use of deadly force\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/10454955/racist-texts-prompt-sfpd-internal-investigation\">officer misconduct\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11712239/terrorist-or-troll-judge-to-weigh-whether-oakland-man-really-intended-to-attack-bay-area\">other\u003c/a> \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11221414/hayward-paid-159000-to-husband-of-retired-police-chief-documents-show\">high\u003c/a>-\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/10622762/the-forgotten-tracking-two-homicides-in-san-francisco-public-housing\">profile\u003c/a> \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11624516/federal-agency-promoted-ranger-just-months-after-his-gun-was-stolen-and-used-in-steinle-killing\">cases\u003c/a>. He co-founded the \u003ca href=\"https://projects.scpr.org/california-reporting-project/\">California Reporting Project\u003c/a> in 2019 to obtain and report on previously confidential police internal investigations. The effort produced well over 100 original stories and changed the course of multiple criminal cases.\r\n\r\nHis work has been recognized with numerous journalism awards, including a national Edward R. Murrow award for several years of \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11688481/sfpd-officers-in-mario-woods-case-recount-shooting-in-newly-filed-depositions\">reporting\u003c/a> on the San Francisco Police shooting of Mario Woods. His \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/147854/half-of-those-killed-by-san-francisco-police-are-mentally-ill\">reporting\u003c/a> on police killings of people in psychiatric crisis was cited in amicus briefs before the U.S. Supreme Court.\r\n\r\nAlex now enjoys mentoring the next generation of journalists at KQED.",

About half a million went to first- or business-class airfare for the six deans with medical exemptions, according to documents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UCLA is not the only place within the state’s public university system with liberal spending on executives. The UC Board of Regents this month approved an annual car allowance of $8,916 and a moving allowance of $142,500 for incoming President Janet Napolitano, the departing Department of Homeland Security chief.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Considered one of the best universities in the country, UCLA justifies its expenses as a way to personally connect with wealthy donors and compensate for years of declining state support.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Patrick Callan, president of the nonprofit Higher Education Policy Institute in San Jose, said no one would deny that university officials need to travel. But well-compensated administrators, he said, do not need to live luxuriously to raise money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Maybe we have to throw fancy parties sometimes for them (donors),” he said. “But that we have to live that lifestyle ourselves as senior higher education administrators seems to me to be pretty questionable.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The UCLA expense reports were submitted for attending meetings with donors, stoking new educational partnerships in foreign locales, and attending academic conferences and film festivals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For all six deans with medical exemptions, UCLA spent $486,000 on 130 business- or first-class airfares from 2008 to mid-2012, university records show. UCLA could have saved at least $234,000 by purchasing economy-class tickets based on an analysis of typical fares from the U.S. Bureau of Transportation Statistics and the Airline Tariff Publishing Co., which provides fare data.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Overall, the university paid about $296,000 for Olian’s premium airfares from 2008 to May 2012. Airfare for a June 2010 multistop trip to Washington, D.C., and Asia cost the university $12,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://cironline.org/reports/infographic-uclas-big-spenders-5077\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-105387\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/08/UCLAinfographic.jpg\" alt=\"Infographic: UCLA's big spenders\" width=\"350\" height=\"451\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In contrast, UC Berkeley’s Haas School of Business dean, Richard Lyons, spent $107,000 on travel and entertainment from 2008 to 2012 – about one-sixth of Olian’s $647,000 tab for meals, lodging, registration fees, car service, airfare and other expenses, according to records obtained from UCLA Records Management and Information Practices through a public records request.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In all, UCLA paid $45,000 to book or reimburse business- and first-class flights for Teri Schwartz, dean of the university’s School of Theater, Film and Television, from July 2009, when she started the job, to May 2012. She also used the medical note to justify flying first class on shorter flights, such as an hourlong hop from Los Angeles to Las Vegas that cost $543.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schwartz, 63, has hired a chauffeured vehicle routinely instead of a regular taxi, including two town-car trips costing $665 between London and Oxford. She uses her doctor’s note to justify traveling to and from airports by car service.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UCLA spokesman Phil Hampton said in a written statement that travel is an essential component of campus leaders’ efforts to cultivate relationships and engage alumni around the world. He said unforeseen circumstances and practical considerations sometimes warrant exceptions to travel policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“While today’s times demand financial prudence, UCLA must make investments in travel and entertainment-related activities to continue its trajectory as one of the world’s top research universities and a national leader in securing gifts and research funding,” the statement said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The expenses troubled a state lawmaker who has been a frequent critic of the university’s spending. Sen. Leland Yee, D-San Francisco, said the deans’ expenditures should be examined further.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Sadly, the UC system has a bad track record when it comes to spending public money openly and responsibly,” Yee said. “It is worth looking into the matter so we can assure our tax dollars are being spent wisely.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Olian, 61, the costs add up quickly because she has a doctor’s note that allows her to fly business or first class on her frequent trips to the East Coast and abroad.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the same time, she competes in athletic events. In April 2011, she conquered the Wildflower Triathlon’s considerably difficult cycling leg in about 4½ hours. The course includes a dreaded 5-mile hill that climbs 1,000 feet, earning it the nickname “Nasty Grade.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A month before joining a university-sponsored triathlon relay team in the 2011 race, Olian used a doctor’s note to justify flying first class to Florida, where she met with a donor and attended the Wall Street Journal’s Women in the Economy conference. UCLA paid about $2,400 for the airfare, nearly four times as much as the average fares at that time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>None of the deans would comment about their expenses or medical waivers. UCLA Anderson spokeswoman Allison Holmes declined to identify Olian’s medical condition but said it allows her to bike.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There are many medical conditions that enable individuals to do certain activities, but not others, (such as) fly in confined spaces for longer flights,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officials at UCLA’s Anderson School of Management said about $80,000 of Olian’s expenses have been or will be reimbursed by outside organizations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Holmes said the business school does not use state funding to pay for travel and entertainment expenses, relying instead on sources such as tuition revenue and donations. She said the school considers travel and entertainment to be necessary investments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Fundraising is therefore vital for the dean of UCLA Anderson in the face of diminishing state support, in order for us to remain the world-class school that we are and have been,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Globalization is one of the biggest priorities for Anderson, and the dean’s results have been remarkable, including many new global alumni chapters and global immersion programs, a new global center, two joint global degree programs and an applicant pool that is now over 50 percent from abroad.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The independent, nonprofit Center for Investigative Reporting is the country’s largest investigative reporting team.

The UC Board of Regents this month approved an annual car allowance of $8,916 and a moving allowance of $142,500 for incoming President Janet Napolitano, the departing Department of Homeland Security chief.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Considered one of the best universities in the country, UCLA justifies its expenses as a way to personally connect with wealthy donors and compensate for years of declining state support.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Patrick Callan, president of the nonprofit Higher Education Policy Institute in San Jose, said no one would deny that university officials need to travel. But well-compensated administrators, he said, do not need to live luxuriously to raise money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Maybe we have to throw fancy parties sometimes for them (donors),” he said. “But that we have to live that lifestyle ourselves as senior higher education administrators seems to me to be pretty questionable.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The UCLA expense reports were submitted for attending meetings with donors, stoking new educational partnerships in foreign locales, and attending academic conferences and film festivals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For all six deans with medical exemptions, UCLA spent $486,000 on 130 business- or first-class airfares from 2008 to mid-2012, university records show. UCLA could have saved at least $234,000 by purchasing economy-class tickets based on an analysis of typical fares from the U.S. Bureau of Transportation Statistics and the Airline Tariff Publishing Co., which provides fare data.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Overall, the university paid about $296,000 for Olian’s premium airfares from 2008 to May 2012. Airfare for a June 2010 multistop trip to Washington, D.C., and Asia cost the university $12,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://cironline.org/reports/infographic-uclas-big-spenders-5077\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-105387\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/08/UCLAinfographic.jpg\" alt=\"Infographic: UCLA's big spenders\" width=\"350\" height=\"451\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In contrast, UC Berkeley’s Haas School of Business dean, Richard Lyons, spent $107,000 on travel and entertainment from 2008 to 2012 – about one-sixth of Olian’s $647,000 tab for meals, lodging, registration fees, car service, airfare and other expenses, according to records obtained from UCLA Records Management and Information Practices through a public records request.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In all, UCLA paid $45,000 to book or reimburse business- and first-class flights for Teri Schwartz, dean of the university’s School of Theater, Film and Television, from July 2009, when she started the job, to May 2012. She also used the medical note to justify flying first class on shorter flights, such as an hourlong hop from Los Angeles to Las Vegas that cost $543.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schwartz, 63, has hired a chauffeured vehicle routinely instead of a regular taxi, including two town-car trips costing $665 between London and Oxford. She uses her doctor’s note to justify traveling to and from airports by car service.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UCLA spokesman Phil Hampton said in a written statement that travel is an essential component of campus leaders’ efforts to cultivate relationships and engage alumni around the world. He said unforeseen circumstances and practical considerations sometimes warrant exceptions to travel policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“While today’s times demand financial prudence, UCLA must make investments in travel and entertainment-related activities to continue its trajectory as one of the world’s top research universities and a national leader in securing gifts and research funding,” the statement said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The expenses troubled a state lawmaker who has been a frequent critic of the university’s spending. Sen. Leland Yee, D-San Francisco, said the deans’ expenditures should be examined further.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Sadly, the UC system has a bad track record when it comes to spending public money openly and responsibly,” Yee said. “It is worth looking into the matter so we can assure our tax dollars are being spent wisely.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Olian, 61, the costs add up quickly because she has a doctor’s note that allows her to fly business or first class on her frequent trips to the East Coast and abroad.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the same time, she competes in athletic events. In April 2011, she conquered the Wildflower Triathlon’s considerably difficult cycling leg in about 4½ hours. The course includes a dreaded 5-mile hill that climbs 1,000 feet, earning it the nickname “Nasty Grade.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A month before joining a university-sponsored triathlon relay team in the 2011 race, Olian used a doctor’s note to justify flying first class to Florida, where she met with a donor and attended the Wall Street Journal’s Women in the Economy conference. UCLA paid about $2,400 for the airfare, nearly four times as much as the average fares at that time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>None of the deans would comment about their expenses or medical waivers. UCLA Anderson spokeswoman Allison Holmes declined to identify Olian’s medical condition but said it allows her to bike.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There are many medical conditions that enable individuals to do certain activities, but not others, (such as) fly in confined spaces for longer flights,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officials at UCLA’s Anderson School of Management said about $80,000 of Olian’s expenses have been or will be reimbursed by outside organizations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Holmes said the business school does not use state funding to pay for travel and entertainment expenses, relying instead on sources such as tuition revenue and donations. She said the school considers travel and entertainment to be necessary investments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Fundraising is therefore vital for the dean of UCLA Anderson in the face of diminishing state support, in order for us to remain the world-class school that we are and have been,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Globalization is one of the biggest priorities for Anderson, and the dean’s results have been remarkable, including many new global alumni chapters and global immersion programs, a new global center, two joint global degree programs and an applicant pool that is now over 50 percent from abroad.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Most had perfect 4.0 grade-point averages, with just a handful as low as 3.6. Sastry said, \"There's roughly twice as many students who would meet all of these extremely high GPA requirements that we were not able to admit.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Responding to Sastry's charges, UC Berkeley Provost George Breslauer countered in an email that his administration is in fact nimble at responding to its students. He made two important points: First of all, lots of science and math classes are seeing \"a sudden surge in demand\" -- not just engineering. Secondly, the administration is adding introductory classes and instructors to meet these sudden surges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Engineering programs nationwide grapple with sky-high dropout rates. According to the American Society for Engineering Education, about 40 percent of U.S. engineering students didn't finish their four-year programs. But at Berkeley, fully 80 percent go on to get their degree.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Erin Davis, a 2013 graduate, is among the few women in engineering. Davis said studying alongside mostly male classmates was emotionally exhausting and she considered dropping out. But supportive professors, plus acing a midterm, convinced her to stick it out. She said she realized, “OK, maybe I'm not as stupid as I think I am.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 22-year-old said she is taking a job at an investment firm in Portland. “They have massive portfolios for very rich clients, and I'm doing operations (to) implement the research team's ideas. It’s basically Industrial Engineering 221.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The average starting salary for graduates of her engineering college is about $75,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to President Barack Obama, grads like Davis are in short supply across the country. Two years ago the president and his Jobs Council challenged engineering colleges to produce 10,000 more graduates a year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sastry has managed to increase the total number of engineering graduates by about 17 percent in the last five years, by doing more with less. He's had to cut four faculty in that same period of time, and said “it's not possible to squeeze in any more students.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>THE UC SYSTEM\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California has been \u003ca href=\"http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/news/factsheets/thefacts_budgetbasics_0313.pdf\">cutting support for higher education\u003c/a> radically since 1990. But Sastry said budget cuts, which have been ongoing, are no excuse to underreact to the changing job market. \"Public schools have been too preoccupied with guaranteeing their existence, guaranteeing their survival, so to speak, while these demands have been changing.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Daniel Mote is the incoming head of the National Academy of Engineering, which has advised Obama's Jobs Council. He also served as vice chancellor at UC Berkeley during the 1990s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mote does not take a position on the conflict over the engineering college, but he does say there's an important homework assignment here. \"The question the provost has to address is whether these fluctuations are long-standing, or whether they're just temporary because of some particular surge in interest that's only short term, maybe a year or two.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mote believes things like IT and cybersecurity are not fads, and that the U.S. is falling behind other countries in training our share of the global workforce. “Look at engineers as a proportion of all college grads,” Mote said, “and in fact the one country is the world that closely matches the United States is Mozambique.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The UC system has had not a concerted plan to grow its engineering programs -- or science, technology or math -- since 2005. The UC president's office said there’s no new plan in the works at the systemwide level to expand any STEM field. Meanwhile, they have seen an increase in students choosing STEM majors across the individual campuses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UCLA Engineering has awarded 36 percent more bachelor’s degrees in the last five years, while cutting three faculty. Dean Vijay Dhir believes a new plan for enrollment growth is overdue. \"It’s not magic. We’ve got to invest.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>SETTING PRIORITIES \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's hard for large institutions to pivot and suddenly choose one sector of the economy over another. But that's exactly what Purdue University in Indiana is doing. Purdue plans to add 700 students over the next five years -- which far outpaces Berkeley. To do it, Engineering Dean Leah Jamieson is adding more than 100 new teaching jobs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jamieson is raising $150 million from alums and companies, and her administration is matching that because, she explained, “engineering is a pinnacle of pride for the school.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jamieson said schools like Berkeley may have a harder time than Purdue setting priorities because \"the greatest pride is in being extraordinarily good at everything or almost everything. Many times that's a great thing, maybe just not right now.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Without a plan in place, industrious types like UC Berkeley Professor Karl van Bibber have to hustle for their interests. Van Bibber witnessed his department lose staff due to budget cuts. This year, he lobbied hard for the university to add not one, but two, new faculty to nuclear engineering.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003c/strong>Van Bibber said the administration told him, “This is mortgaged against your future hiring.” But he wistfully quotes Wimpy from the old \"Popeye the Sailor Man\" cartoon. “I’ll gladly give you a dollar on Tuesday for a hamburger today.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wimpy is a roly-poly man who hustles people into buying him burgers - an unflattering analogy for the growth strategy of a premier public university.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Listen to Aarti Shahani's report in The California Report:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe src=\"https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F101642641%3Fsecret_token%3Ds-Tx0ZE\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\n",

Parents complain to him that their kids are pulling all-nighters studying, only to get rejected. And \u003ca href=\"http://articles.washingtonpost.com/2011-08-04/opinions/35270537_1_engineers-private-sector-firms\">California companies tell him that without enough well-trained Americans\u003c/a>, they’re stuck lobbying for H1B visas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>UC BERKELEY GRADUATES\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the incoming class this fall, Sastry accepted about 700 applicants. Most had perfect 4.0 grade-point averages, with just a handful as low as 3.6. Sastry said, \"There's roughly twice as many students who would meet all of these extremely high GPA requirements that we were not able to admit.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Responding to Sastry's charges, UC Berkeley Provost George Breslauer countered in an email that his administration is in fact nimble at responding to its students. He made two important points: First of all, lots of science and math classes are seeing \"a sudden surge in demand\" -- not just engineering. Secondly, the administration is adding introductory classes and instructors to meet these sudden surges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Engineering programs nationwide grapple with sky-high dropout rates. According to the American Society for Engineering Education, about 40 percent of U.S. engineering students didn't finish their four-year programs. But at Berkeley, fully 80 percent go on to get their degree.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Erin Davis, a 2013 graduate, is among the few women in engineering. Davis said studying alongside mostly male classmates was emotionally exhausting and she considered dropping out. But supportive professors, plus acing a midterm, convinced her to stick it out. She said she realized, “OK, maybe I'm not as stupid as I think I am.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 22-year-old said she is taking a job at an investment firm in Portland. “They have massive portfolios for very rich clients, and I'm doing operations (to) implement the research team's ideas. It’s basically Industrial Engineering 221.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The average starting salary for graduates of her engineering college is about $75,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to President Barack Obama, grads like Davis are in short supply across the country. Two years ago the president and his Jobs Council challenged engineering colleges to produce 10,000 more graduates a year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sastry has managed to increase the total number of engineering graduates by about 17 percent in the last five years, by doing more with less. He's had to cut four faculty in that same period of time, and said “it's not possible to squeeze in any more students.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>THE UC SYSTEM\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California has been \u003ca href=\"http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/news/factsheets/thefacts_budgetbasics_0313.pdf\">cutting support for higher education\u003c/a> radically since 1990. But Sastry said budget cuts, which have been ongoing, are no excuse to underreact to the changing job market. \"Public schools have been too preoccupied with guaranteeing their existence, guaranteeing their survival, so to speak, while these demands have been changing.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Daniel Mote is the incoming head of the National Academy of Engineering, which has advised Obama's Jobs Council. He also served as vice chancellor at UC Berkeley during the 1990s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mote does not take a position on the conflict over the engineering college, but he does say there's an important homework assignment here. \"The question the provost has to address is whether these fluctuations are long-standing, or whether they're just temporary because of some particular surge in interest that's only short term, maybe a year or two.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mote believes things like IT and cybersecurity are not fads, and that the U.S. is falling behind other countries in training our share of the global workforce. “Look at engineers as a proportion of all college grads,” Mote said, “and in fact the one country is the world that closely matches the United States is Mozambique.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The UC system has had not a concerted plan to grow its engineering programs -- or science, technology or math -- since 2005. The UC president's office said there’s no new plan in the works at the systemwide level to expand any STEM field. Meanwhile, they have seen an increase in students choosing STEM majors across the individual campuses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UCLA Engineering has awarded 36 percent more bachelor’s degrees in the last five years, while cutting three faculty. Dean Vijay Dhir believes a new plan for enrollment growth is overdue. \"It’s not magic. We’ve got to invest.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>SETTING PRIORITIES \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's hard for large institutions to pivot and suddenly choose one sector of the economy over another. But that's exactly what Purdue University in Indiana is doing. Purdue plans to add 700 students over the next five years -- which far outpaces Berkeley. To do it, Engineering Dean Leah Jamieson is adding more than 100 new teaching jobs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jamieson is raising $150 million from alums and companies, and her administration is matching that because, she explained, “engineering is a pinnacle of pride for the school.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jamieson said schools like Berkeley may have a harder time than Purdue setting priorities because \"the greatest pride is in being extraordinarily good at everything or almost everything. Many times that's a great thing, maybe just not right now.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Without a plan in place, industrious types like UC Berkeley Professor Karl van Bibber have to hustle for their interests. Van Bibber witnessed his department lose staff due to budget cuts. This year, he lobbied hard for the university to add not one, but two, new faculty to nuclear engineering.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003c/strong>Van Bibber said the administration told him, “This is mortgaged against your future hiring.” But he wistfully quotes Wimpy from the old \"Popeye the Sailor Man\" cartoon. “I’ll gladly give you a dollar on Tuesday for a hamburger today.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wimpy is a roly-poly man who hustles people into buying him burgers - an unflattering analogy for the growth strategy of a premier public university.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Listen to Aarti Shahani's report in The California Report:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

(T)he American people are safer and more secure thanks to Janet’s leadership in protecting our homeland against terrorist attacks.

She has a reputation for seeing things through, no matter how difficult the effort.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She has the intellectual curiosity, leadership qualities, personal charm and discipline needed to navigate any future challenges that await this university.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I anticipate learning much from Secretary Napolitano, given her experience leading large, complex organizations.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Robert Powell, chair of UC’s systemwide Academic Senate and a faculty representative on the Board of Regents, praised the choice: \"In my discussions with her, Secretary Napolitano clearly articulated the view that the University of California must do all it can to ensure not only that it remains the greatest public university in the world in the 21st century, but also that it moves to new heights.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"She has deep respect for the faculty, and she will listen to what we say. She knows that, as the core of what makes UC great, the faculty must have an environment in which they can thrive as scholars and teachers.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If the regents approve the appointment, Napolitano would become the first woman in the university’s 145-year history to serve as president. She would succeed Mark G. Yudof, who announced in January that he would step down at the end of August after serving for more than five years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the twice-elected governor of Arizona, serving from 2003 to 2009, Napolitano was a consistent champion of public education, protecting funding of the state’s universities even as she addressed a $1 billion deficit upon assuming office. By 2006, she had turned the deficit into a $300 million surplus without raising taxes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chosen by President Barack Obama to serve as the third Secretary of Homeland Security, Napolitano leads a complex array of efforts to safeguard the nation – counterterrorism, border security, immigration enforcement, cybersecurity and disaster preparedness, response and recovery. Homeland Security is the third largest federal department, with a budget of $60 billion, 240,000 employees and 22 agencies and directorates, including the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Customs and Border Protection, Citizenship and Immigration Services, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, U.S. Coast Guard and Secret Service.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I am both honored and excited by the prospect of serving as president of the University of California,” said Napolitano.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I recognize that I am a non-traditional candidate,” she added. “In my experience, whether preparing to govern a state or to lead an agency as critical and complex as Homeland Security, I have found the best way to start is simply to listen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If appointed, I intend to reach out and listen to chancellors, to faculty, to students, to the state’s political leaders, to regents, to the heads of the other public higher education systems and, of course, to President Yudof and his team, who have done so much to steer the University of California through some extremely rough waters.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As UC president, she would lead a system of 10 campuses, five medical centers, three affiliated national laboratories and a statewide agriculture and natural resources program. The UC 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.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Napolitano, 55, was born in New York City and grew up in Pittsburgh, Pa., and Albuquerque, N.M., before coming to California for her college education. She was graduated from Santa Clara University with a bachelor’s degree in political science. She was selected as the university’s first female valedictorian, and also won a Truman Scholarship, a prestigious fellowship for college students who possess leadership potential and an interest in government or public service.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After earning her law degree from the University of Virginia, she went to Arizona in 1983 to serve as a clerk for Judge Mary M. Schroeder of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, and later practiced law in Phoenix at the firm of Lewis and Roca, where she became a partner in 1989. She was the first female Attorney General of Arizona, from 1998 to 2003, and served as U.S. Attorney for the District of Arizona from 1993 to 1997.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Napolitano was named one of the top five governors in the country by Time magazine. As the first woman to chair the National Governors Association, she launched the “Innovation America” initiative to align K-12 and higher education curricula to better prepare students for a global economy and strengthen the nation’s competitiveness by improving its capacity to innovate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the Department of Homeland Security, she has championed cutting-edge research and development, investing more than $2.2 billion in state-of-the-art solutions at national labs and universities across the country to protect people and critical infrastructure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under her leadership, Homeland Security also has strengthened its outreach efforts to academic institutions through the establishment of the Office of Academic Engagement, and she created the Homeland Security Academic Advisory Council, involving leadership from more than 20 universities and colleges around the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She has repeatedly testified about the need for comprehensive immigration reform and, earlier this year, she served as the Administration's sole witness in the Senate Judiciary Committee's hearing on the Senate's comprehensive immigration reform bill. She also testified before the Senate in support of the Dream Act and defended the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals process in a hearing before the House Judiciary Committee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Special Committee to Consider the Selection of a President, assisted by the national executive search firm Issacson, Miller, was involved in recruiting, screening and interviewing candidates.

At the Department of Homeland Security, Janet’s portfolio has included some of the toughest challenges facing our country. (T)he American people are safer and more secure thanks to Janet’s leadership in protecting our homeland against terrorist attacks. I’ve come to rely on Janet’s judgment and advice, but I’ve also come to value her friendship. And as she begins a new chapter in a remarkable career of public service, I wish her the best of luck.”\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Here's U-C's official announcement of the nomination:\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano has been nominated for appointment as the 20th president of the University of California, it was announced today.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Regent Sherry Lansing, chair of a 10-member special search committee, said Napolitano rose to the top from a large field of candidates and was recommended on a unanimous vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>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.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Secretary Napolitano is a distinguished and dedicated public servant who has earned trust at the highest, most critical levels of our country’s government,” Lansing said in a statement. “She has proven herself to be a dynamic, hard-working and transformative leader.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As governor of Arizona, she was an effective advocate for public education, and a champion for the life-changing opportunities that education provides…Those who know her best say that a passion for education is in her DNA.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She added: “As Secretary of Homeland Security, she has been an ardent advocate for the federal Dream Act and the architect of a policy that protects from deportation young undocumented immigrants who are pursuing a college education.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Board Chair Bruce Varner, who served as vice chair of the search committee, noted in a separate statement: “Throughout her noteworthy career, Secretary Napolitano has built a track record for taking on and tackling the toughest of challenges. She has a reputation for seeing things through, no matter how difficult the effort.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She has the intellectual curiosity, leadership qualities, personal charm and discipline needed to navigate any future challenges that await this university.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I anticipate learning much from Secretary Napolitano, given her experience leading large, complex organizations.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Robert Powell, chair of UC’s systemwide Academic Senate and a faculty representative on the Board of Regents, praised the choice: \"In my discussions with her, Secretary Napolitano clearly articulated the view that the University of California must do all it can to ensure not only that it remains the greatest public university in the world in the 21st century, but also that it moves to new heights.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"She has deep respect for the faculty, and she will listen to what we say. She knows that, as the core of what makes UC great, the faculty must have an environment in which they can thrive as scholars and teachers.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If the regents approve the appointment, Napolitano would become the first woman in the university’s 145-year history to serve as president. She would succeed Mark G. Yudof, who announced in January that he would step down at the end of August after serving for more than five years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the twice-elected governor of Arizona, serving from 2003 to 2009, Napolitano was a consistent champion of public education, protecting funding of the state’s universities even as she addressed a $1 billion deficit upon assuming office. By 2006, she had turned the deficit into a $300 million surplus without raising taxes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chosen by President Barack Obama to serve as the third Secretary of Homeland Security, Napolitano leads a complex array of efforts to safeguard the nation – counterterrorism, border security, immigration enforcement, cybersecurity and disaster preparedness, response and recovery. Homeland Security is the third largest federal department, with a budget of $60 billion, 240,000 employees and 22 agencies and directorates, including the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Customs and Border Protection, Citizenship and Immigration Services, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, U.S. Coast Guard and Secret Service.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I am both honored and excited by the prospect of serving as president of the University of California,” said Napolitano.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I recognize that I am a non-traditional candidate,” she added. “In my experience, whether preparing to govern a state or to lead an agency as critical and complex as Homeland Security, I have found the best way to start is simply to listen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If appointed, I intend to reach out and listen to chancellors, to faculty, to students, to the state’s political leaders, to regents, to the heads of the other public higher education systems and, of course, to President Yudof and his team, who have done so much to steer the University of California through some extremely rough waters.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As UC president, she would lead a system of 10 campuses, five medical centers, three affiliated national laboratories and a statewide agriculture and natural resources program. The UC 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.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Napolitano, 55, was born in New York City and grew up in Pittsburgh, Pa., and Albuquerque, N.M., before coming to California for her college education. She was graduated from Santa Clara University with a bachelor’s degree in political science. She was selected as the university’s first female valedictorian, and also won a Truman Scholarship, a prestigious fellowship for college students who possess leadership potential and an interest in government or public service.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After earning her law degree from the University of Virginia, she went to Arizona in 1983 to serve as a clerk for Judge Mary M. Schroeder of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, and later practiced law in Phoenix at the firm of Lewis and Roca, where she became a partner in 1989. She was the first female Attorney General of Arizona, from 1998 to 2003, and served as U.S. Attorney for the District of Arizona from 1993 to 1997.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Napolitano was named one of the top five governors in the country by Time magazine. As the first woman to chair the National Governors Association, she launched the “Innovation America” initiative to align K-12 and higher education curricula to better prepare students for a global economy and strengthen the nation’s competitiveness by improving its capacity to innovate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the Department of Homeland Security, she has championed cutting-edge research and development, investing more than $2.2 billion in state-of-the-art solutions at national labs and universities across the country to protect people and critical infrastructure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under her leadership, Homeland Security also has strengthened its outreach efforts to academic institutions through the establishment of the Office of Academic Engagement, and she created the Homeland Security Academic Advisory Council, involving leadership from more than 20 universities and colleges around the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She has repeatedly testified about the need for comprehensive immigration reform and, earlier this year, she served as the Administration's sole witness in the Senate Judiciary Committee's hearing on the Senate's comprehensive immigration reform bill. She also testified before the Senate in support of the Dream Act and defended the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals process in a hearing before the House Judiciary Committee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Special Committee to Consider the Selection of a President, assisted by the national executive search firm Issacson, Miller, was involved in recruiting, screening and interviewing candidates. More than 300 possible candidates were considered.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
