...mistake and not know it for a generation." California Regent Edward Carter contends that what a regent really needs is a diversified "experience of life and the breadth of vision that comes from it, since by the time problems get to the regents' level they are pretty broad...
Regents vary on how deeply they delve into operational detail. Most try to confine themselves to setting broad policy and letting administrators carry it out. The California regents were long plagued by administrative trivia, once even had to pass upon the hiring of janitors. Authority has now been decentralized to the point where troublesome student behavior is a campus chancellor's problem, rather than the regents' or the university president's.

...Boss's dilemma in an underplayed, hysterically funny idiom. Kathryn Walker plays an actress in and out of character with precisely the right degree of mannerism, preserving her identity as both a woman and a woman of the theatre. And Arthur Friedman, despite gestures which become too broad a little too often, is a properly ugly, self-assured and obedient cultural bureaucrat...
