Chris Newman, legal director for the California-based National Day Laborer Organization Network told the Washington Times, "UC should take the opportunity to thoroughly examine her record in Arizona and at DHS to see if it reflects the university's values before they confirm her to this important post."
Nor was the other side pleased.
"University of California students can look forward to the same authoritarian management style Secretary Napolitano brought to the Department of Homeland Security, hardly a bastion of free speech and open government," warned Rep. Doug LaMalfa, R-Calif.
"While I am pleased to see her leave Homeland Security, Napolitano's views are entirely incompatible with the UC system's history of civil liberties and the decision to appoint her is perplexing."
It was John M. Ellis, president the the California Association of Scholars, a division of the National Association of Scholars, who expressed alarm on behalf of educators.
She is "narrowly partisan" and of questionable competence, he said. He noted most who know her record agree "that she is a poor administrator."
He cited the scandal exposed by a lawsuit by James T. Hayes Jr., and said Napolitano's cronyism and use of her office for partisan activism demonstrate a lack of sound judgment.
"She has often looked rather silly in her pronouncements," he said.

The only permanent place that I would like to see her is in jail. Since we still live in a free market society let the parents and students decide if they want to attend. At least she is out of the Homeland Security business for now
