The dual searches at the University of California and California State University have generated a daunting list of desired job qualifications. Janet Napolitano, president of the University of California, and Timothy P. White, chancellor of the California State University, have both announced that they will be stepping down from their positions. The UC job is “probably the most complex and challenging job in higher education,” said Mary Sue Coleman, president of the Assn. “California public higher education is kind of like the Rose Bowl — the granddaddy of them all.”Crow is both widely admired for his visionary rebuild of traditional higher education models and criticized for his aggressive use of educational technology. In 2018, Napolitano earned $627,000 in total compensation and White $493,000, according to a Chronicle of Higher Education database.
