I thought Chancellors were supposed to fight for students, not against them.

Part of the problem is that the Chancellors are so quick to take their marching orders and talking points from the Regents, UC President, and State government on budget cuts, escalating tuition, etc. that they have failed to be a voice for the students.

as a chancellor it was not her job to PARENT the students as she was suggesting she was, instead, she has the responsibility to guide, lead and inspire the student body. Her failure as a leader was not because of her being cautious, it was because of her doubt on the intelligence of her students and her denial of their rights to express themselves in whichever way they choose and allow them to take responsibilities of themselves.

What a disgrace to bullshit degrees everywhere. Tesla's rolling over in his grave.

So I guess the whole occupy movement died once it was time to go home and collect Christmas presents? :P

protocol? oh please, they pepper sprayed students that were nonviolent

[bayoubell1]

She has everything to lose 400K a year, plus a house and car--free, pension and status. She is a liar and a fraud. Resign isn't good enough, they will put another shill in her place. The system needs to change.

@LordNazgulKing Are you saying she is the person who gave the "go" for using pepper spray?

[thekk11]

Actually, she is quite intelligent and is motivated to find the best solution and to prevent this from happening in the future.

I feel she should resign. There's a lot she said that shows she lacks an incredible amount of foresight. The outcome was a predictable one, and in making the decisions she did she has shown she is not fit to make the necessary decisions for students best interests. The health and safety comments, what a sham. Police brutality and arrests over public toilets? Also, the only thing that will take time is her gaining trust again, NOT understanding vocal students who she didn't listen to before.

"the police is following protocol???" what bullshit
