Sen. Feinstein’s Husband Named In UC Admissions Scandal

[RI]

U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s husband, University of California Regent Richard Blum, was named Thursday by the state auditor’s office as one of the regents involved in an admissions scandal where UC wrongly admitted dozens of wealthy, mostly white students as favors to well-connected people.

Blum told the San Francisco Chronicle on Thursday that he’s done nothing wrong and that he’s used his clout to get friends and family into the elite public system for years.

“I did it a bunch of times,” Blum said, adding that he has never considered it a problem to write recommendation letters bypassing the traditional admissions process. A policy prohibiting such influence has been in place throughout Blum’s 18-year tenure on the Board of Regents, the newspaper reported.

Blum, a financier, told the Chronicle that “no one ever told me it was wrong.”

How could a wartime profiteer do this?

 Shameful and completely expected.

Unbeatable Titan Kevin De León has something to say about this.

Hopefully she stays on just long enough to save the fillibuster!

She should do the honorable thing and resign.

She is in line for Judiciary Chairwoman, should Dems win the Senate, I hope she resigns, I never liked her

lmfao who woulda thunk it

I'm finding it hard to care much about this. Why judge Feinstein over the actions of her husband anyway?
Isn't it sexist, the implications of this idea?

She should resign for something her husband did? 🤔

I hope all the presumed joke sexism I've seen in this thread is just that - a joke.

If this was Dan Feinstein, and this was something his wife did, I'd be insisting that he resign too. Corruption is not exclusive to one gender.

In which case, this isn't joke sexism. It is lack of understanding of how relations work. I suppose that's better than animus towards either men or women, but it's just as removed from reality.

You call yourself a feminist? Name a woman.

I guess I don't understand why "Dan" should have to resign either. How is it corruption if there's no proof Feinstein knew about it? If she did, obviously she should, but it's a bit odd to insist guilt by association.

If Rosario Dawson snapped and shot one of her co-stars, should Cory Booker resign?

Even if she knew, it possibly all she knew was that he had written letters of recommendation, not that he bypassed the admissions committee.

Everything I know about Rosario Dawson suggests this is unlikely. It's actually more likely she'd shoot Cory Booker, given how depressingly common violence between partners in romantic relationships is.

Of course, I'm pretty sure she doesn't own a gun, so we're talking extreme hypothetical here.

Dianne Feinstein has always been a disgrace to California and the Democratic Party. She's a corrupt, entitled, do-nothing corporate stooge. Yet the supposedly uber-progressive state keeps reelecting her, because she's an institution you see.

F**k her and f**k the morons who keep voting for her.

[Ferguson97]

Like, I hate Feinstein but I don't know why she should be blamed for this. Primary/urge her to retire for dragging the Democrats down, not because of something her husband did.
