Good Idea: Take a Risk

The website of the San Francisco Chronicle today is running a story today about a Silicon Valley forum in which California first lady Anne Gust Brown and new UC president Janet Napolitano argued that women should take more risks in public life.

In earlier posts, we noted that a recent speech - billed in advance as a major address - by the new prez was largely a dud with no sense of priorities for UC or even key questions that she thinks need further investigation.  So we agree about risk taking.  Our new prez should take a risk at the upcoming Regents meeting next week and provide some kind of direction about priorities.
