Going back a bit, here are the requirements to transfer to the University of Idaho.

They may have been different when Sarah went there, but if anything, I'd bet they were stricter in the past. It seems to be the norm for these requriements to be relaxed over the years.
Palin education took her to five colleges: Gov. Sarah Palin | adn.com
SPOKANE, Wash. - Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin attended five colleges in six years before graduating from the University of Idaho in 1987.
Federal privacy laws prohibit the schools from disclosing her grades, and none of the schools contacted by The Associated Press could say why she transferred. There was no indication any of them were contacted as part of the background investigation of Palin by presidential candidate John McCain's campaign.
"Our office was not contacted by anyone," said Tania Thompson, spokeswoman for the University of Idaho in Moscow.
I've attended a top tier university and a 4th tier university and the professors were actually way better at the 4th tier one. How strange

It's not about an unjust firing only, it's about using your power against someone for a personal reason. The trooper was her sisters ex husband. Coincidence? We shall see.
The reason she went after him was the threats he made and illegal activity that was confirmed by state police where he was then suspended for 10 days.
If you think police should be doing illegal activities and be allowed then I can't say much to that.
""The record clearly indicates a serious and concentrated pattern of unacceptable and at times, illegal activity occurring over a lengthy period, which establishes a course of conduct totally at odds with the ethics of our profession," Col. Julia Grimes, then head of Alaska State Troopers, wrote in March 1, 2006, letter suspending Wooten for 10 days. After the union protested it, the suspension was reduced to five days."

Why go after him? His supervisors were investigating, they had suspended him. Do governors in Texas review the suspensions of all state troopers, and push for harsher treatment when they think it's merited? Or do they let the agency do its job?

I'll go with he was the admitted criminal and person that was in charge of his own sometimes illegal actions. If I break the law I am held responsible troopers should also.
So you then agree that people in charge of the law are allowed to break it with only minor infractions? 10 days reduced to 5 days....after threatening the life of another human you expect him to have your best interest on his mind? And she did actually go after them.
They question her abuse of power even at the same time she was pushing ethics as fast as possible and watching people getting booted out of power by the dozen while having a huge success rate among the people she works for. *shrugz shoulders* I see no argument...get the swine out of office...if it takes a hardball effort or whatever....

What I'm saying is that the governor of a state and her husband and the rest of her family shouldn't be calling the trooper's supervisor to demand that he fire said trooper after that trooper's conduct has been reviewed and punishment has been determined. If she didn't agree, a written request asking the supervisor to look into the matter again because the governor felt the punishment was insufficient would have been the appropriate way to handle it. Especially given that the governor and trooper had a relationship outside of the office, and that relationship was not amicable. A governor, like any other elected official has an obligation to avoid the impression of allowing personal issues intruding on professional matters.
