It's his job to run the UC, not circumvent the law to his political preferences.

The Cbancellor's job is to run the university, and if he thinks that Prop 209 is bad for the university, it's his job to campaign to get rid of it. That’s the governor’s/AG’s job.

My conclusion, and the conclusion of many people around me, is that because it has resulted in a dramatic diminution in numbers of particular classes of California citizens, it has in fact created a system that is quite unfair." why does our chancellor think he is smarter than the people of California? who voted for him? what an arrogant, antidemocratic jerk! last time i checked, the UC system was a part of the state government, which is supposed to be governed by the people. and the people spoke rather clearly and directly in prop. 209 “I (Birgeneau) think people voted for 209 idealistically and generally thought it would produce a fairer system.
