Despite his position and a policy in place for 18 years during his tenure ... he acted to curry influence ... because “no one ever told me it was wrong.” Too funny. "Among those “inappropriately admitted” were a student whose family was friends with a member of the Board of Regents, the child of a major donor and an applicant who babysat for a colleague of a former admissions director, according to the report released Tuesday by the California State Auditor.
