Janet Napolitano. Remember her? Now she is President of the University of California. She got caught using politically incorrect language when students protested during a meeting of the regents. Nanette Asimov reports at SF Gate:
University of California President Janet Napolitano apologized Thursday for referring to a student protest as “crap” during a meeting of the UC regents a day earlier in San Francisco. Her comment to regents Chairman Bruce Varner was captured on the university’s video stream.Read more here.
“I was caught on a mike with a word that was unfortunate. So I want to just say I apologize for that,” Napolitano said at the start of the final day of the three-day regents meeting at UC’s Mission Bay campus.
Napolitano made her original remark when a few dozen student protesters got loud at Wednesday’s regents meeting.
The students were protesting not only the tuition hike set for next fall, but a new campus in Richmond being planned by UC Berkeley.
