Emails show UC president’s office manipulated state audit of its services

The auditor tossed out the surveys after determining that Napolitano’s office improperly manipulated several survey answers. Here are emails from Bernie Jones, Napolitano’s deputy chief of staff, and from UC Santa Cruz Chancellor George Blumenthal that show how it was done.
