Regents not all bad
The article titled "Regents misrepresent UC’s diverse people"
(Nov. 19) fails to mention that the regents must be confirmed by
the state Senate. While I agree with the main idea of the article,
that too much power is given to an elite few, the regent selection
process does possess checks and balances, as do many other
appointment systems in government.
However, more diverse and unpoliticized representation is needed
to keep close at hand what the educational system was designed for:
the quality education of California’s diverse population of
students.
